Organic Milk Thistle 1000 Mg, 50:1 (Silymarin Marianum), 90 Veggie Capsules

Milk Thistle 50:1 Ratio Concentration (90 capsules)

Milk Thistle (silymarin) is a flowering herb related to the daisy and ragweed family. It is native to Mediterranean countries. Some people also call it Mary thistle and holy thistle.

Milk thistle is sometimes used as a natural treatment for liver problems. These liver problems include cirrhosis, jaundice, hepatitis, and gallbladder disorders.

Some claim milk thistle may also:

• Provide heart benefits by lowering cholesterol levels
• Help diabetes in people who have type 2 diabetes and cirrhosis

Some early research suggests milk thistle may aid people with alcohol-related liver disease. Other studies show no improvement in liver function in this group of people.

Some studies also show milk thistle may offer a possible benefit for people whose liver is damaged by industrial toxins, such as toluene and xylene.

Medical research does suggest that milk thistle, combined with traditional treatment, can improve diabetes. Studies have shown a decrease in blood sugar levels and an improvement in cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes.

Researchers also have found that milk thistle improved insulin resistance, a key characteristic of type 2 diabetes.
