Clinical studies have found that Silymarin - the active constituent of Milk Thistle - protects the liver from toxins, including drugs like Tylenol (acetaminophen) that can cause liver damage, as well as damage induced by alcohol consumption.
Studies also showed that Silymarin could be useful as an adjuvant in the treatment of hepatitis C.
Maintaining a healthy liver function is essential for the body to survive and thrive. The liver and kidneys are the two major body detoxifiers. The hardworking liver filters toxic substances and aids in their elimination from the body.

Did you know?
The name “milk thistle” derives from a feature of the leaves, which are prominently banded with splashes of white. Historically, these milky bands were said to be Mother Mary’s milk, and this is the origin of another common name, St. Mary’s thistle. The most widespread species is Silybum marianum.
