Pure Milk Thistle Extract Powder 250 grams (8.8 oz) Powder

Milk thistle, or as it is sometimes referred to, holy thistle, belongs to the daisy family and has been used by the ancient Greeks and other civilizations for thousands of years. It should be noted that milk thistle is not the same thing as milkweed. Milk thistle is mainly made up of flavonoid compounds including isosilybin, silibinin, silybin, and silymarin. The latter is the active ingredient in milk thistle and is the element that gives it its antioxidant and protecting liver properties. Silymarin protects the liver by stopping the release of enzymes which are known to be toxic to the liver. In addition it also has the ability to permanently alter the membrane surrounding a cell to prevent any outside chemicals or toxins from entering and infecting them. Milk thistle contains beta in hydrochloride which enhances the already strong protective elements of milk thistle. Silymarin also enhances protein synthesis in the liver and slows the oxidizing process of glutathione. • Clean & Pure Powder.
