Milk Thistle is used in herbal medicine to protect the liver (hepatoprotective agent), to help support the hepatic functions of the liver and to soothe digestive problems (dyspepsia).
Silymarin, the main active element of Milk Thistle, is present only in the fruit. It is made up of three flavonoids: silychristin, silydianin and silybin. Silymarin acts directly on the hepatocytes, making toxins more difficult to absorb, stimulating their elimination and promoting the regeneration of hepatic tissue.
As with other flavonoids, silymarin also has powerful anti-radical properties, thus preventing certain toxic products from damaging the liver.
Interesting fact: silymarin can only be extracted with alcohol. This is why our product contains 35% alcohol that is flavoured with orange oil.
