What Makes this Product Unique:
Our Milk Thistle has not been standardized to its Silymarin content - although the product is analyzed for its Silymarin content. Standardizing means manipulating an herb so that it contains a guaranteed amount of a certain botanical constituent. The majority of plant constituents have yet to be identified or understood. It is the synergy of the various constituents that is responsible for the medicinal activity of herbs. Dr. Lapraz calls this "the intelligence of plants." Additionally, plants contain constituents that protect against the potential side effects of other constituents.

Milk thistle has been found useful in viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis. It has been used as an emergency antidote poisoning by death cap mushrooms. It should always be used in detoxification if one of the goals is optimal liver function.
