Milk Thistle
What is it?
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) is a flowering herb traditionally used for liver and gallbladder support. The key active compound, silymarin, is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent known to protect liver cells from toxins, support regeneration, and enhance detoxification.

How does it work?
Milk Thistle works by delivering silymarin, which acts as a shield for liver cells, protecting them from toxins, oxidative stress, and inflammation. It also helps stimulate protein synthesis, aiding in the regeneration of damaged liver tissue. In addition to liver support, its antioxidant properties benefit skin clarity, hormonal balance, and overall cellular health.
When included in SuperGreens and Liver Renew, Milk Thistle enhances the body’s ability to cleanse, process nutrients, and maintain energy levels.
