Milk Thistle has been used historically to help support liver health for over 2,000 years. The main active constituent, which is known as silymarin, is made up of three parts: silibinin, silidianin, and silicristin. This herb is regarded by many herbalists as the perfect liver herb or food. It helps to protect the liver from the harmful elements, such as alcohol abuse, illegal or legal drugs and other potentially liver harming substances. Milk thistle is packed full of powerful antioxidants which help to protect and regenerate the liver.

Milk thistle has been used historically to help prevent toxins from entering the liver via guarding the organ’s various entrances, the membranes of liver cells. By slowing the rate at which the liver absorbs harmful substances, the toxins are excreted through the kidneys before they have the chance to do damage to the liver. The amazing ability of this herb in protecting and regenerating liver cells, is absolutely incredible. This herb should be in every first aid kit, home, vehicle, etc. for emergency use as well as use on a regular basis.

When the damage to the liver has already taken place, Milk thistle also aids the liver in repairing injured cells and regenerating new ones. This is accomplished via stimulating protein synthesis through the enzyme RNA polymerase I. Protein is the basic building blocks of the cell walls, cell structure, and enzymes that are vital to all body processes. There are currently no known side effects of this herb and no known drug interactions.
