Milk Thistle Extract 250 mg 90 caps (P1064-90)
Patient One Milk Thistle 250 mg vegetarian capsules contain 250 mg of milk thistle extract, standardized to contain a minimum of 80% of the flavonoid silymarin.
A common herb native to the Mediterranean, milk thistle has been broadly used for its nutritional support of liver function for two centuries. Seeds of the dried milk thistle flower are rich in silymarin, a bioflavonoid complex of silybin, silydianin, and silychristin. Silymarin is responsible for milk thistle’s powerful liver supportive activities.
The liver is the body’s detoxifying organ, disabling toxins such as ethanol, environmental poisons, pesticides, and certain pharmaceuticals. When damaged or diseased, the liver’s ability to eliminate toxins and perform its numerous other functions may be severely impaired. This highly active botanical has been shown to support and enhance normal, healthy liver function.
Silymarin protects the liver from free radical damage, supports glutathione concentrations, promotes superoxide dismutase activity and stimulates protein synthesis in hepatic cells.
