Milk Thistle (Liver Functions) 100 Veggie Caps

JARROW FORMULAS Milk Thistle 100 Vegetarian Capsules

The Greek herbalist Dioscorides cataloged milk thistle in his list of healing plants for liver conditions, improving bile flow and stimulating digestion. The Roman author Pliny was of a similar opinion. Indeed, milk thistle (Silybum marianum) extracts have been used as traditional herbal remedies for almost 2000 years and milk thistle is now extensively cultivated as a healing herb. Today, milk thistle extracts are among the most popular and the best researched of all herbs. Modern research has focused on bile production and liver function. German scientists have produced an extract called silymarin, which has a variety of liver-protectant properties. The active principles normally constitute only one to four percent of the total plant, so it is necessary to concentrate the extract extensively to provide benefits. Jarrow Formulas Milk Thistle provides just such a potent concentrate.

One capsule daily with food. Do not exceed recommended servings for consumption during the day.
