What's It Made
Of?
The active ingredient, or liver-protecting compound in milk
thistle is known as silymarin. This substance, which actually consists
of a group of compounds called flavonolignands, helps repair liver
cells damaged by alcohol and other toxic substances. Silymarin also
keeps new liver cells from being destroyed by these same substances,
reduces inflammation, and has potent antioxidant effects.
Most milk thistle products are standardized preparations extracted from
the fruits (seeds) of the plant. Most preparations are standardized to
contain 70% to 80% of flavonolignans (silibinin, silychristin, and
silydianin), collectively known as silymarin.
