Milk Thistle Extract
What Is Milk Thistle Extract?
Of all the herbal supplements you will find for sale on our site, milk thistle extract may be the most intriguing. Milk thistle has been shown to help protect and rejuvenate the liver in three ways: Milk thistle is a powerful antioxidant, it helps protect the liver, and may interrupt enterohepatic recirculation of toxins. Milk thistle's silymarin complex creates a "shield" that may help protect against many liver-harming substances and may also help the body regenerate the liver.
Why Are Our Milk Thistle Products Better?
Our Complete Milk Thistle Extract contains fresh, potent, standardized extract plus 250mg per capsule of micro-ground milk thistle seed. Our product tests (in the laboratory) to 80% silymarin. Remember, if a supplier does not list their concentration, there is no way of knowing what you are getting. As per the German Commission E recommendations, our Complete Milk Thistle Extract also uses complete ground milk thistle seed. It is not just an isolated silymarin extract sprayed on a neutral filler.
High-Potency Detox & Liver Support with Resveratrol is a formula created to help detoxify and enhance the health of the liver, the organ whose primary role in the body is to remove or neutralize potentially harmful toxins. The liver is continually working to keep the body healthy and free of environmental toxins, and the High-Potency Detox & Liver Support has been designed to support this process. High-Potency Detox & Liver Support contains the following nutrients to support both phases of the liver's detoxification process: milk thistle Extract, esterized vitamin C, a complete B-vitamin complex, methionine, selenium, alpha-lipoic acid, resveratrol and others.
Who Should Consider a Milk Thistle Product?
Milk thistle has been shown to help protect and rejuvenate the liver in not less than three ways:
- Milk thistle is a powerful antioxidant.
- Milk thistle helps protect the liver by interrupting the enterohepatic recirculation of toxins. The silymarin complex in milk thistle puts up a protective "shield" that may help protect against many liver-harming substances.7
- Milk thistle may help the liver regenerate. Did you know that the liver is the only internal organ capable of regeneration? Milk thistle's silymarin complex may actually help the liver to synthesize new proteins!7
