Geographical Origin
U.S.A., Canada, MexicoBackground and Use
Milk Thistle has been used and extensively studied as an aid to healthy liver function. Silymarin, although well-known, is but one of many liver supporting substances found in the seed of milk thistle. Many clinical studies have demonstrated that milk thistle provides potent antioxidant protection, against free radicals and other toxins that normally enter into the liver and cause damage to the liver cells.
