Milk Thistle
Protects the liver and helps with liver detoxification, lowers cholesterol, anti-ageing, helps control diabetes and helps with brain function.
HOW DOES IT WORK?:
Milk Thistle is a flowering herb related to the daisy family native to Mediterranean countries. The active ingredients are a group of plant compaunds known collectively as silymarin. It has antioxidant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties and has traditionally been used to treat liver and gallbladder disorders.
Studies have shown improvements in the liver function of people taking milk thistle suggesting it could help reduce liver inflammation. It may also be neuroprotective and could help the decline in brain function you experience as you age. It can also stimulate bone mineralisation which may protect against progressive bone loss and it has also been used to help treat acne due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
RECOMMENDED USAGE: Take 1 to 2 tablets daily with a full glass of water.
