    Milk Thistle

    The medicinal use of Milk thistle can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome. Milk thistle is related to the sunflower and contains the active constituent silymarin, which contributes to 4-6% of the ripe seeds.



    This compound has been found to have liver-protecting effects. The liver is essential for processing nutrients and neutralising and detoxifying waste products. Milk thistle may help to maintain a healthy liver through enhancing liver cell renewal. The herb has also been found to possess antioxidant properties. Take up to 200mg of standardised extract three times daily.
