Milk Thistle

Why Should I Take a Milk Thistle Supplement?

Milk thistle is a plant-derived dietary supplement and natural detoxer that’s long been celebrated for its health properties, and is often consumed in milk thistle supplements. These aren’t suitable for everyone, and milk thistle’s properties require more research, so you should always consult your GP before starting to take a daily milk thistle supplement. This botanical supplement combines a traditional ingredient with modern technology – a powerful partnership.

Milk Thistle Supplement Benefits

Silymarin, the active plant-derived ingredient in milk thistle supplements, is believed to have antioxidant properties that may help to tackle the effects of oxidative stress, and it’s believed to have many other health and wellbeing benefits too.

Evidence also suggests that milk thistle can help to protect the liver, and may even regenerate new liver cells. In a review examining its effect on alcoholic liver disease, four studies found improvements in markers of healthy liver function including levels of aminotransferases, which are enzymes that are released into the blood when the liver is damaged.

If you’re looking for more support for your liver, we also have a Liver Protect glutathione supplement, as well as a Liver Refresh Shot.

You should always speak to your GP before trying any new supplement, or if you have concerns about your liver health. You should be especially careful of taking a milk thistle supplement if you have allergies. Explore our full range of botanical supplements.
