More product information

Many chemicals found in everyday products have not been tested for safety in humans, and this affects our liver’s ability to protect us. Milk Thistle is one of the most powerful ways you can support and protect your liver. When the liver cannot effectively neutralize and dispose of toxins, these toxins accumulate in the body, leading to many unwanted health conditions and diseases. Many different prescription and over-the-counter drugs have been associated with liver damage. Milk Thistle extracts can stop, and even reverse, liver damage from these toxins. Milk Thistle eases NAFLD and may even improve cholesterol profiles in diabetic patients.

The liver contributes to detoxification by promoting the production of glutathione, the body’s ‘master’ antioxidant. Although every living cell in the body needs glutathione, the liver contains and needs much more of this disease fighting substance than any other organ or tissue in the body. However, the body’s glutathione stores are not unlimited and if glutathione in the liver is completely overwhelmed – as occurs in an over toxification of an unwanted substance such as acetaminophen aka paracetamol – liver failure can result. Milk Thistle has been shown to naturally stimulate the production of glutathione, therefore it not only supports liver health but also facilitates the liver’s functioning and detoxification process too.
