Description
For thousands of years Milk Thistle as been used in traditional and natural medicine for a whole range of different health complaints. From treating a variety of liver and gallbladder disorders, protecting the liver from snake poisons, environmental poisons and alcohol poisoning. Over the years Milk Thistle has become the focus of various scientific studies, and has consequently been backed by leading health professionals around the world for its powerful anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antioxidant properties.
Milk Thistle is a powerful anti-inflammatory, its natural anti-inflammatory action works through the reduction of TNF-A (a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in early inflammatory events which trigger various inflammatory molecules). These molecules play a major role in immune system response and low level inflammation in almost every chronic disease. Milk Thistle enables you to bring your body back into balance and promote an inflammatory reduction by successfully reducing TNF-A molecules – WITHOUT the side effects associated with equally effective anti-inflammatory drugs.
The effectiveness of Milk Thistle as antioxidant is equally renowned due to its high antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging abilities. Like all powerful antioxidants, biochemical analyses clearly demonstrates Milk Thistles ability to neutralize free radicals. If free radicals overwhelm the body’s ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress ensues. This will damage cell and negatively alter lipids, proteins and DNA – creating a “weakness” for disease.
As you age your naturally defence against free radicals becomes less effective, as cells accumulate free radical damage over time (without antioxidant assistance). While Milk Thistle cannot reverse this damage, it can effectively prevent free radicals from oxidizing biological molecules and alleviate oxidative stress. This is why many researchers believe that high levels of antioxidants can prevent many age related diseases and mental decline by enhancing neuronal mechanisms.
Clinical studies have proven Milk thistles ability to stimulate synthesis and activity of enzymes responsible for detoxification pathways
The most common use of milk thistle is as a natural treatment for liver problems and liver disease. It has been used by ancient physicians and herbalists to treat a wide variety of liver and gallbladder diseases and to protect the liver against an assortment of poisons. Its effectiveness has been well studied, analysed and proven over the past 30 years with near 300 clinical studies conducted. The evidence to support Milk Thistle as an effective natural treatment for liver problems and live disease is immensely strong.
Clinically research has also discovered that one of the compounds in milk thistle may work similarly to diabetic medications by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing blood sugar. In the most recent study, analysis found that those routinely consuming milk thistle experienced a significant reduction in their HbA1c and fasting blood sugar levels (a measure of blood sugar control)!

If you after a detox product that works, this is for you. Bought this to help my liver to get rid the toxins, and have been following the progress with liver tests. Even after a week, my stats are lot better, this is a product that works.

Used these tablets whilst on holiday abroad as we always drink more than at home! They really do help with hangover symptoms & made us both able to function a lot better than we normally would. Highly recommended!

I have a fatty liver and am noticing a difference in a couple of weeks. I’m already feeling cleansed with more energy and less bloated.
George S, Norfolk
Since using these, all symptoms of my IBS (bloating, feeling sick, stomach cramps, indigestion and heartburn, inability to eat certain foods) have disappeared. If I accidentally run out for a few days my symptoms reappear. So now I try not to be without them.
Stephanie M, Cornwall
This stuff really does work. I was diagnosed with a liver problem that does now no longer need treatment of any kind. Highly recommend and thank you so much.
Heather W, Bolton
I could tell I had been drinking too much and that my liver was telling me so. I feel much better now I have started taking these. I take one every morning after a night of drinking. I will be buying these again for sure.
