Milk thistle has become popular due to its unique effects on liver health. It is recommended as a supportive agent in the treatment of cirrhosis.
This product is sugar-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, non-GMO and is also suitable for vegans.
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is native to the Mediterranean region. The main active substance extracted from milk thistle is silymarin. It acts as an antioxidant and prevents the production and spread of free radicals, which cause a number of serious health problems.
The main effect of milk thistle is its effect on liver health. However, this is not the only health benefit of this medicinal plant. Scientists are investigating other possible positive effects of this herb on the human body. In general, milk thistle has:
- antibacterial
- antioxidant
- anti-inflammatory effects.
When to use milk thistle?
The use of milk thistle has also proved useful for other health ailments. It turns out that the supportive use of milk thistle can help in maintaining bone health. It prevents and slows the onset of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Other research has pointed to the usefulness of milk thistle in reducing cholesterol levels in the blood. High cholesterol levels can lead to serious cardiovascular problems.
Some researchers hypothesize that the antioxidant effects of silymarin may have anticancer effects that may benefit people undergoing chemotherapy.
Due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, milk thistle may be a useful adjunct in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as acne.
Another, far from the last, health benefit of milk thistle is its effect on blood sugar levels. Milk thistle helps to lower blood sugar levels and is therefore a useful adjunct in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Research into the possible effects of milk thistle on the human body is also ongoing. These may increase our knowledge of the effects and confirm what we already know today.
