DISCOVER THE PLANT BEHIND MILK THISTLE

SILYBUM MARIANUM — A BOTANICAL WITH A HISTORY

Milk thistle, scientifically known as Silybum marianum, belongs to the daisy family.

Originally associated with Mediterranean regions, it has become widely recognised in traditional herbal practices.

Its seeds contain a group of naturally occurring plant compounds collectively known as silymarin.

SILYMARIN — THE COMPOUNDS THAT MAKE MILK THISTLE INTERESTING

Silymarin is a mixture of flavonolignan compounds found in milk thistle.

One of its best-studied constituents is silybin, also called silibinin.

These compounds have attracted scientific interest because of their antioxidant properties and interactions with biological processes involved in liver physiology.

Research continues to investigate milk thistle extracts in different settings. However, findings from individual studies do not establish that every milk thistle supplement produces the same effects.

THE LIVER — AN EXTRAORDINARY ORGAN

Your liver is involved in hundreds of important processes that help keep your body functioning normally.

It contributes to nutrient metabolism, produces bile, stores certain vitamins and minerals, and processes substances entering the bloodstream.

Liver health is influenced by many factors, including diet, alcohol consumption, medication, metabolic health and underlying medical conditions.

Milk thistle has traditionally been associated with liver wellness, which is why it remains one of the most recognisable botanicals in this category.

MILK THISTLE AND DIGESTIVE WELLBEING

Milk thistle also has a history of traditional use in digestive preparations.

The liver produces bile, which plays an important role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats.

This connection between liver physiology and digestion forms part of the traditional interest in milk thistle.
