Are milk thistle nutritional supplements effective for liver health? Anonymous customer's question

Pharmacist's answer:

The spotted thistle is a plant also known as Silybum marianum. The main active ingredient in milk thistle is silymarin. Milk thistle extract is high in silymarin (65-80%), concentrated from the milk thistle plant. Milk thistle has antioxidant properties and is essential for liver health, good digestion, heart health, blood sugar regulation, and urinary tract health (on hold botanicals).

It is regularly used as a complementary therapy by people who have liver damage from conditions such as alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and even liver cancer. It is also used to protect the liver from toxins. Studies have shown improvements in liver function in people with liver disease who took a milk thistle supplement, suggesting it may help reduce inflammation and liver damage.

Spotted thistle has proven:

• takes care of resilience
• takes care of blood sugar levels
• contributes to liver health
• ensures comfortable digestion
• takes care of cleaning the liver
• contributes to the health of the gallbladder

How can the liver be restored naturally?

Restoration of the liver is a complex process. Still, we can naturally support our health and recovery with a healthy diet, physical activity, and avoidance of harmful substances. A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber is crucial for liver health. Include plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.

Excessive alcohol consumption can damage the liver and lead to the development of fatty liver disease, inflammation of the liver (hepatitis), and even cirrhosis of the liver. Reduce or avoid drinking alcohol to reduce the strain on your liver. Also, reduce exposure to toxic chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxic substances that can adversely affect the liver. Also, be aware of the use of medications that can cause liver damage and consult your doctor about possible alternatives.

Regular physical activity can help promote liver health and metabolism. Aerobic exercise such as walking, running, or swimming can help reduce body weight, essential in reducing the risk of fatty infiltration of the liver. Certain herbs and supplements, such as milk thistle, have properties that can help protect and restore the liver.
