Description
Milk
Thistle is a herb recognized since ancient times for its medicinal
value. It grows in moderate climates of North America and
Europe, easily recognized by its large purple thistle-like
flower heads.
By
the Middle Ages, the seed of the milk thistle plant was
used to support liver functions, to promote the flow of
bile and as a general tonic for the stomach, spleen, gallbladder
and liver.
Milk
Thistle consists of three potent liver protective flavonoids:
silybin, silydianin and silychristin. Collectively these
are known as silymarin. To be effective milk thistle products
must be standardized to contain this active blend. Kirkman's
Milk Thistle is standardized to contain 80% silymarin. Recent
research has indicated that silymarin helps to protect against
the depletion of the antioxidant glutathione in liver cells.
Kirkman
offers Milk Thistle Hypoallergenic Capsules 100 mg. which
provide 80 mg. silymarin.
