Description

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a medicinal plant of the Asteraceae family, native to Southern Europe, Australia, North and South America, Northern Africa, and some parts of Asia. Milk thistle extract is an herbal remedy derived from the milk thistle plant. Silymarin, the main ingredient in milk thistle extract, is a mixture of a number of flavonolignans, such as silybin, which is the most active component of silymarin [1]. Because of its potential medicinal properties, milk thistle extract has been used to protect the liver for centuries.
