DESCRIPTION
Milk Thistle plays a vital role in ridding harmful waste and toxins. This powerful antioxidant supports liver function with its detoxifying and anti-aging properties. Studies have shown that it can help lower cholesterol. Milk thistle is traditionally used as a remedy for neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease.
Milk thistle is basically a flowering herb that is actually a descendent of the ragweed and daisy families. It is commonly found growing in the wild in Mediterranean countries and it is renowned for its numerous health and wellness benefits. This ingredient has actually been used for medicinal purposes for more than 2000 years, and it is still considered to be one of the healthiest and most beneficial supplements in the entire world. Milk thistle is rich in an ingredient known in silymarin, which experts are especially interested in, particularly when it comes to weight loss. Commonly, milk thistle is considered to be a very potent and powerful liver cleansing supplement, though recently, experts have begun to discover that it could also provide benefits for people looking to lose weight in a safe and controlled manner. Oh, and if you’re wondering about the name, it gets that because the leaves secrete a milky white liquid when they are broken down.
Health Canada Recommended Dose (capsules): Adults: Take 1 capsule once per day or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
* Use for a minimum of 3 weeks to see beneficial effects.

The Benefits
There are a number of benefits associated with Milk Thistle, and whilst listing them all may be a bit of a stretch, we can look at some of the most common and most important benefits. These include:
Milk thistle is considered essential for anybody looking to maintain a healthy liver, and what’s more, the supplement has even been shown to reverse the damaging effects on the liver, caused by drugs, alcohol, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and even liver cancer. Milk thistle can be used to protect the liver against toxins like amatoxin. Studies have shown that Milk Thistle can also reduce inflammation in the liver.
As milk thistle is also rich in nutrients, and as it functions as a powerful antioxidant, milk thistle supplements are ideal for anybody looking to strengthen and improve their immune system. The stronger the immune system, the healthier the individual, so it is most certainly well worth considering using a milk thistle supplement on a daily basis.
Thanks to the silymarin, milk thistle can help regulate blood glucose levels, which means that the body can utilize more excess body fat for energy, as opposed to glucose and sugars in the system, which can assist with fat loss. Milk thistle also has laxative-like effects, so you can flush excess lipids and toxins out in your stools.
It is traditionally used as a remedy for neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons’s disease. As you age, it is possible for amyloid plaques to build up in the brain’s nerve cells. This causes oxidative damage to brain cells. Studies have shown that milk thistle may reduce the number of amyloid plaques in the brain.
