Ingredient Spotlight: Milk Thistle

What is Milk Thistle?

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum), or silymarin, is a prickly plant with white veins and purple flowers related to the daisy or ragweed family. It has been used for thousands of years to support liver, kidney, and gallbladder health. Milk thistle was originally found in Europe and eventually spread throughout parts of the world, including North America, South America, Asia, and Africa.

Milk Thistle Benefits

Milk thistle contains antioxidant properties that may help fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This plant may also support natural liver and kidney regeneration, detoxification and normal function.

Research suggests milk thistle also supports bone health, healthy blood sugar, and even promotes healthy skin.
