The Liver's Best Friend - Clinically Proven Liver Protection

The liver is one of the largest and a very important organ in our bodies. The liver has a number of vital jobs in the body. A few of the important functions of the liver are: breaks down (metabolizes) fats and carbohydrates, providing energy and nutrients to the body; stores vitamins, minerals, and sugar to prevent shortages; helps the body fight infection by removing harmful bacteria from the blood (detoxing); and creates bile, which helps to break down fats during digestion.

Research has validated the healing powers of Milk Thistle, particularly for the treatment of disorders of the liver. The effectiveness of this herb arises from the three liver-protecting compounds (silymarin) found in the ripe seed. These compounds have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. An antioxidant is a substance that protects cells against molecules produced when the body breaks down food or is exposed to radiation and tobacco smoke. Anti-inflammatory substances reduce the swelling, redness, and pain of inflammation in the body.

Premium Quality Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum)

Silymarin - The Active Liver-Protecting Compound: Milk Thistle contains three powerful liver-protecting compounds collectively called silymarin: silybin (the most active), silydianin, and silychristin. These flavonolignans work synergistically to protect liver cells, support regeneration, and enhance detoxification.

How Milk Thistle Protects & Heals the Liver

The Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) strengthens the liver by increasing glutathione - a compound essential for the detoxification process and produced naturally by the liver. Milk Thistle promotes the regeneration of new liver cells to replace old and damaged cells and helps limit medication-induced damage to the liver after chemotherapy treatments. It is also beneficial in preventing gallstones by improving the flow of bile - the digestive juice that flows from the liver through the gallbladder into the intestines, helping fat to be digested.

Scientifically-Proven Health Benefits

• Assists with Fatty Degeneration & Inflammation of the Liver: Milk Thistle is highly effective for fatty liver disease (NAFLD - Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) by reducing fat accumulation in liver cells, decreasing liver inflammation, protecting liver cells from oxidative damage, supporting liver cell regeneration, and preventing progression to more serious liver disease.
• Protects Against Poisoning with Hepatotoxic Substances: Milk Thistle protects the liver from hepatotoxic (liver-damaging) substances including alcohol, medications (acetaminophen, chemotherapy drugs), environmental toxins, heavy metals, and other harmful compounds. Silymarin acts as a shield, preventing toxins from entering liver cells and neutralizing those that do.
• Supports Treatment of Acute Viral Hepatitis: Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by viral infection (Hepatitis A, B, C). Milk Thistle helps by reducing liver inflammation, protecting liver cells from viral damage, supporting immune function to fight the virus, promoting liver cell regeneration, and improving liver function tests. It should complement, not replace, medical treatment for hepatitis.
• Relieves Hepatic Insufficiency or Congestion: When the liver becomes overwhelmed and cannot perform its functions properly (hepatic insufficiency) or becomes congested with toxins, Milk Thistle helps by supporting detoxification pathways, increasing glutathione production, improving bile flow to eliminate toxins, reducing liver congestion, and restoring optimal liver function.
• Eases Hepatic Cirrhosis: Cirrhosis is a serious condition causing scar tissue to gradually replace healthy liver cells. While cirrhosis is not reversible, Milk Thistle can help slow progression, protect remaining healthy liver cells, reduce inflammation and further damage, support liver function, and improve quality of life. It's one of the few natural substances shown to benefit cirrhosis patients.
• Increases Glutathione Production: Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant and is essential for liver detoxification. Milk Thistle increases glutathione levels by up to 35%, enhancing the liver's ability to neutralize toxins, protect cells from oxidative damage, support immune function, and maintain optimal detoxification capacity.
• Promotes Liver Cell Regeneration: One of Milk Thistle's most remarkable properties is its ability to promote the regeneration of new liver cells to replace old and damaged cells. This helps the liver heal from damage, restore function after injury or disease, and maintain healthy liver tissue throughout life.
• Limits Medication-Induced Liver Damage: Milk Thistle helps limit medication-induced damage to the liver, particularly after chemotherapy treatments, from long-term medication use, from acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose, and from other hepatotoxic drugs. It's often recommended for those on medications that stress the liver.
• Prevents Gallstones: By improving the flow of bile - the digestive juice that flows from the liver through the gallbladder into the intestines - Milk Thistle helps prevent gallstone formation, supports fat digestion, reduces gallbladder inflammation, and promotes overall biliary health.
