Enzymatic Therapy Super Milk Thistle 60 ultracaps within category: Silymarin
Also Milk Thistle
Silymarin is an active flavonoid found in the milk thistle.It is one of only a few traditionally used herbs that has been widely accepted by
conventional science to have significant medicinal value as one of the most potent liver
detoxification herbs known.
Silymarin is effective for protecting the liver and is the tenth best selling herb in the Western world. It is the main remedy used in Western herbal medicine to
protect the liver and its many metabolic activities, and help renew its cells.
To see an effect you generally need 12 to 15 grams of dried herb (200 to 400 mg silymarin) per day
or silymarin-phosphatidylcholine complex 100 to 200 mg two times per day - but dose varies by person. (Check the contents of the brand you use to ensure you are receiving what you believe you need, as different brands vary).
