Milk
Thistle is one of the most widely used herbs. Milk thistle's main
active ingredient is a flavonoid called silymarin, an antioxidant which
is believed to protect liver cells from toxins, particularly lipid
peroxidation, and helps to detoxify alcohol, drugs, and other chemical
toxins. Silymarin promotes liver cell protein synthesis, decreases the
oxidation of glutathione, and assists in the regeneration of glutathione
and restoration of cellular thiol status.
There
are many compounds in milk thistle, mostly flavonoids, including
silymarin, silybin, isosilybin, and silibinin. Studies show silymarin,
silibinin, silibinin and other flavonoids found in milk thistle may
support healthy detoxification during a number of conditions including
alcoholic cirrhosis and tumors.
