Milk Thistle Extract


Product Benefits


Milk Thistle Extract’s benefits revolve around Silymarin and Silybin, with decades of research supporting its use:

Regenerates Damaged Liver Cells: Silybin stimulates protein synthesis, helping repair liver cells harmed by alcohol, drugs (e.g., anti-tuberculosis medications), or environmental toxins. It’s often called a “natural liver protector.”

Powerful Antioxidant: Silymarin scavenges free radicals more effectively than vitamin E, reducing oxidative stress and preventing liver cell damage.

Shields Against Liver Stress: It blocks toxins from binding to liver cell receptors, protecting against damage from pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and heavy metals.

Supports Cardiovascular & Skin Health: It prevents arteriosclerosis by reducing LDL cholesterol oxidation and slows skin aging by fighting free radicals—making it useful in cosmetics and heart health supplements.

Boosts Immune Function: By reducing liver inflammation, it supports overall immune health, as a healthy liver is key to the body’s defense system.


Usage


Our Milk Thistle Extract is widely used across industries, with clear application guidelines:

Pharmaceuticals: Formulated into tablets or capsules for liver detox, hepatitis treatment, or drug-induced liver injury prevention. Recommended dosages are 140-420mg of Silymarin daily (follow medical advice).

Health Supplements: Added to liver support blends, detox powders, or multivitamins—popular among individuals with alcohol intake, fatty liver, or high toxin exposure.

Cosmetics: Incorporated into anti-aging creams and serums. Its antioxidant properties protect skin from UV damage and reduce fine lines.

Food Additives: Mixed into functional bars or herbal drinks, providing a subtle earthy flavor and liver-support benefits.


FAQ


How does Silybin help with alcohol-induced liver damage?

Silybin prevents alcohol metabolites (e.g., acetaldehyde) from damaging liver cells, promotes the repair of existing damage, and reduces inflammation—slowing the progression of fatty liver or early cirrhosis.


What is the shelf life of your Milk Thistle Extract?

When stored in a tightly sealed container away from moisture, heat, and sunlight, it remains potent for 3 years—longer than most herbal extracts—thanks to its stable Silymarin content.


Is your Milk Thistle Extract tested for aflatoxins?

Yes. Each batch undergoes USP-NF<561> testing for aflatoxins, with results showing Aflatoxin B1 <2ug/kg and total Aflatoxins <4ug/kg—well below safety limits.

Milk Thistle Extract



What Is Milk Thistle?

Milk thistle, also known as Silybum marianum, is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region. It belongs to the Asteraceae family and has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties.

Milk thistle seeds and fruits are widely used in medicine and nutraceuticals due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties.

Historically, milk thistle has been used to treat poisonous snake bites, jaundice, and gallbladder stones. In modern times, milk thistle extract has been formulated into capsules and other supplements for its hepatoprotective benefits.

Milk thistle extract has been shown to reduce the production of free radicals, inhibit lipid peroxidation, protect liver cell membranes, and block toxins from binding to receptors on liver cell membranes. It also helps relieve fatigue, enhance liver detoxification function, detoxify alcohol, and protect the liver.
