About Milk Thistle
What is Milk Thistle?
Milk thistle is a medicinal plant that has been used for centuries, especially for supporting liver health. It comes from a flowering plant called Silybum marianum, which is native to the Mediterranean region but now grows in many parts of the world. The plant is recognisable by its purple flowers and distinctive white-veined leaves.
What is Milk Thistle used for?
The main active compound in milk thistle is silymarin, which is found in the seeds of the plant. Silymarin is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is believed to help protect liver cells from damage and support their repair. Because of this, milk thistle is commonly used to support liver function, particularly in relation to toxin exposure, alcohol use, or certain medications.
How often should I take Milk Thistle?
Customers have the ability to self dose our Milk Thistle capsules, as they will work differently for each person.
We recommend 1-2 tablets, up to 3 times daily, with a large glass of water. To begin with, it is advised to take 2 tablets with breakfast, 2 with dinner, and amend the dosage where necessary.
Do not exceed the recommended dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
