PRODUCT INFORMATION

Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum) is a plant containing the flavonolignan Silymarin in its fruits or thistles (1).

Milk Thistle Benefits

  • Supports liver function (ref)*

    Milk Thistle Mode of Action

    Milk Thistle contains 1.5-3% Silymarin before extraction in its dry weight. It is extracted from the seeds for supplement use via ethanol and contains 65-80% of Silymarin, which is a specific polyphenol called a flavonolignan (1).

    Milk Thistle’s liver benefits are believed to be due to its ability to increase protein synthesis in liver cells and facilitate repair of liver cells after injury, while supporting liver function through promoting proper enzyme function (1)(3).

     

    Milk Thistle Capsules & Dosage

    Pure Nootropics’ Milk Thistle Capsules provide 250 mg of Milk Thistle Seed Extract (standardized to 80% Silymarin which is equal to 200 mg Silymarin) per 1 capsule. Suggested use for adults is 1 to 2 capsules by mouth daily for best results, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

    Milk Thistle Side Effects

    CAUTION: If you are allergic to plant members of the aster family (also known as Asteraceae/Compositae family), do not use Milk Thistle (6).

    If you are taking any medications, please consult with your healthcare practitioner before beginning supplementation with Milk Thistle.
