Description
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a plant whose fruit and seeds have been used for more than 2,000 years as a treatment for liver and biliary disorders.
It’s regularly used by herbalist as a herb for liver support and as complementary therapy by people who have liver damage due to conditions like alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis and even liver cancer.
Several scientific studies suggest that substances in milk thistle (especially a flavonoid called silymarin) protect the liver from toxins, including certain drugs, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), which can cause liver damage in high doses. It’s also used to protect the liver against toxins like amatoxin, which is produced by the death cap mushroom and deadly if ingested.
Milk thistle may also be good for people who suffer from osteoporosis. It has been shown in animal studies to stimulate bone mineralization and potentially be protective against bone loss.
Another study in 2023 found that the antioxidant effects of silymarin can stimulate anti-tumor activities as well as protect healthy cells from damage induced by chemotherapy. This could be useful in reducing the side effects of cancer treatments.
