Milk thistle seeds help protect the liver¹

One of the most important organs in the human body is the liver, responsible for digesting food and eliminating toxins, among many other functions. Milk thistle seeds are an ally in its protection.

What is milk thistle?

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.), also known as holy thistle or variegated thistle, is a plant recognised for supporting liver health¹.

Native to Europe, particularly the Mediterranean basin, it has a robust and spiny appearance. Its leaves, flowers and seeds are all used².

Today we know that its seed is especially important, as this part of milk thistle contains a high concentration of silymarin and silibinin, its main active compounds.

Do we want a quality product?

If so, when purchasing it we must pay attention to the benefits of milk thistle, choosing food supplements based on seed extracts with a high content of silymarin and silibinin.

What is milk thistle used for?

When consuming milk thistle seeds, we seek the benefit of contributing to the protection of the liver¹.

However, we must not forget to maintain a healthy lifestyle: exercise, a balanced diet and eliminating alcohol consumption are key factors.

Even so, there are specific times when our body may accumulate toxic substances and require “liver cleanses”, and this is where milk thistle can be an ally, by contributing to the liver’s detoxification potential¹.

• Properties of milk thistle seeds

  Milk thistle is noted for its contribution to liver protection¹ and to maintaining hepatic function¹, while also promoting digestion and the body’s purification¹. In addition, it is a plant with antioxidant benefits³, meaning it neutralises free radicals that damage cells.

The main property of milk thistle seeds is their high content of silymarin and silibinin, their two principal active compounds. It is precisely the seeds that provide the greatest benefits to our body and, in particular, to the liver. These benefits are well known thanks to the large number of studies carried out.

The importance of the liver

The liver is an organ that performs numerous functions, such as converting nutrients obtained from food into essential components, storing vitamins and minerals, producing proteins, clotting factors and enzymes, and metabolising and eliminating substances harmful to the body. This organ also participates in immune reactions that fight infections, removes unwanted organisms from the blood and plays a role in fat digestion⁴.
