Milk Thistle

Milk thistle supplements are a form of dietary supplement made from the dried seeds of the milk thistle plant. They are taken to help treat liver problems such as cirrhosis, jaundice, hepatitis, and gallbladder disorders. Milk thistle contains active compounds called silymarin which helps protect the liver by blocking toxins that can damage it and preventing inflammation. It also increases levels of certain enzymes in the liver which help with detoxification processes. While research is still ongoing on its effectiveness for treating specific conditions, many people take milk thistle supplements to support overall health and wellbeing.
