What is milk thistle?

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a flowering plant whose seeds contain silymarin, a group of flavonoids with antioxidant and cell‑protective properties. It has been used for more than 2,000 years as a traditional remedy for liver and bile duct support.* Modern reviews describe how silymarin has antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, and liver‑protective actions in experimental models of liver stress. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Today, milk thistle is one of the most commonly used herbal supplements for people who want natural liver support. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) notes that milk thistle is widely promoted for liver disorders, though human research is mixed and not conclusive for specific diseases. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

What does the research say?

Large organizations like NCCIH and the National Cancer Institute summarize milk thistle’s research this way: it has a long history of traditional liver use, appears to be generally well tolerated, and some studies show improvements in liver enzyme patterns in certain conditions, but evidence is not strong enough to claim it “treats” liver disease. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Recent systematic reviews and meta‑analyses have reported that silymarin supplementation can improve liver enzyme markers (like ALT and AST) in some people with non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease, though results are not uniform across all trials and doses. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5} That is why we position Mt. Angel Milk Thistle as liver support within a broader routine, not as a stand‑alone cure or replacement for medical care.*

How Mt. Angel Milk Thistle supports liver health*

• Antioxidant support* – Silymarin helps neutralize free radicals and supports the body’s own antioxidant defenses in liver cells, which are constantly exposed to metabolic byproducts and environmental toxins.*
• Cell membrane and regeneration support* – Experimental work suggests that silymarin may help stabilize cell membranes and support healthy regeneration of liver tissue after everyday stress.*
• Healthy inflammatory response* – Reviews describe anti‑inflammatory and antifibrotic actions of silymarin in liver models, which may support long‑term liver resilience when combined with healthy diet and lifestyle.* :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• Daily detox companion* – Your liver is the main “processing plant” for hormones, medications, and environmental exposures. Milk thistle supports the organ that does most of that heavy lifting so you can focus on everyday life.*
