Health benefits of Milk Thistle Extract supplements
-
Improve liver health
One of the most common traditional use of milk thistle extract or Silymarin is in the treatment of liver problems including Jaundice, Hepatitis and Cirrhosis. One recent health study found milk thistle extract improved diet-induced liver damage. Researchers think that the active ingredient in milk thistle, Silymarin, acts as an antioxidant by reducing free radical production. It is theorized that this creates a detoxifying effect and hence Milk Thistle extract’s beneficial effects on the liver. It is now regarded as a helpful complementary treatment for liver problems, however, more research is required to validate its potential as a primary treatment option. Evidence suggests that Milk Thistle extract may be hepatoprotective through a number of mechanisms: antioxidant activity, toxin blockade, enhanced protein synthesis, and possible anti-inflammatory or immune-modulating effects.
