Milk Thistle: Benefits
Milk Thistle sounds like it could possibly be a derivative from a dairy product, but it is anything but. It is a flowering herb that is related to the daisy family!
What is more important is that Milk thistle might be known to be our liver’s best friend, since it not only protects the liver from harmful substances, but it also plays an crucial healing role too.
Milk thistle boosts liver function and promoting the regeneration of new cells. It also benefits the liver by ensuring that the liver’s daily tasks are carried out and that the liver has the ability to rejuvenate itself. Actually, milk thistle is a potent remover of harmful substances that benefits the liver.
Milk Thistle has been found to be beneficial for the following:
- Antioxidant: Silymarin, an active ingredient in the milk thistle complex, is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals that cause cellular damage. Milk thistle extract also motivates other compounds that have antioxidative properties such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase.
- Glutathione: A vital substance that protects the liver from the buildup of harmful substance. In one study, milk thistle use raised the glutathione levels in the body. This meant that the liver will be more effective at cleansing the body and reducing toxic substances.
- Alcohol-Related Conditions: Another benefit of milk thistle is its ability to work as a guardian to the liver and protect from the harmful substance caused by alcohol consumption. Consuming alcohol in large amounts causes the liver to work overtime and in the long term causes serious liver conditions such as cirrhosis.
- Gallstones: Milk thistle tend to stimulate the bile flow which helps prevent the development of gallstones.
