Why we love it
Milk Thistle is the go-to remedy for your liver, protecting and repairing it from damage and supporting its functioning and metabolism. Silymarin is the special antioxidant contained in Milk thistle that can help repair and rejuvenate a damaged liver whether you suffer from the effects of environmental toxins and heavy metals, alcoholic cirrhosis, a fatty liver or various other forms of disease releated to the liver such as chronic hepatitis, inflammation or gallstones. Varicose veins and haemorroids related to poor liver function are also eased.
