Description
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum)
The ultimate liver support!!! Milk thistle is becoming more and more well known for its liver regenerative properties! It helps to restore healing to a damaged liver, while also protecting it from further damage. It is potent in antioxidants that are specific for liver health. It can also assist your gallbladder and liver for bile production and storage — helping with fat digestion. It is also a galactagogue (promotes breast milk production), hence the name and the doctrine of signatures of the plant where it looks like milk splatters on the leaves.
Best way to consume, grind whole seeds into a powder and add into food or capsulate them. Taking 2 capsules 3x a day. OR use seeds in salads. Does not extract fully in tea (hot water extractions do not pull out the majority of the medicine).
Crafted with high-quality herbs, sourced from certified organic suppliers.
