Milk Thistle Extract 80%, Packaging Type : Carton, HDPE Drum

1. Support liver health
There’s some evidence showing that silymarin’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce liver damage and inflammation in people with certain liver diseases, like alcoholic liver disease.
But if you’re healthy, there’s no science showing that taking milk thistle will help your liver detox from booze faster or protect your liver from the effects of alcohol.
2. Balance your blood sugar
Got type 2 diabetes? The silymarin in milk thistle has the potential to lower your fasting blood sugar levels and HbA1c as well as improve insulin sensitivity.
Milk thistle isn’t a substitute for diabetes meds though, and it could cause complications in people with diabetes. So if you’re thinking about taking it, definitely talk with your healthcare provider first.
3. Calm an upset stomach
One of milk thistle’s traditional uses is easing indigestion. There’s not a ton of evidence showing that it actually works, but herbal medicine regulators in Germany do list milk thistle as a possible treatment for a sour stomach.
4. Promote brain health
We’re not saying you should count on milk thistle to protect you from Alzheimer’s or anything. But silymarin’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties might protect your noggin from the damaging effects of free radicals, which could promote healthier brain function as you age.
5. Help fight acne
Plagued by pimples? Silymarin’s antioxidant properties just might help boost the effectiveness of other proven treatments. People who took 140 milligrams silymarin and 100 milligrams doxycycline capsules daily for 8 weeks showed a reduction in acne lesions.
But taking doxycycline alone helped reduce acne too, so the benefits of adding silymarin aren’t completely clear.
