Milk thistle is a powerful detoxifying herb that can help support liver function, maintain healthy cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and lower blood sugar levels. It has powerful anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties and has been used for years to protect the liver from strong medications like statins, phenytoin, seizure medications, and acetaminophen, as well as the effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
Milk thistle has been shown to help fight hepatitis C, as well as inhibit the growth of cancer cells in breast, cervical, and prostate cancers. It has also been shown to be beneficial for gallbladder disease, cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes , Parkinson's disease , jaundice, obsessive-compulsive disorder , headaches, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and rosacea.
Milk thistle is a rich source of zinc , selenium, iron, antioxidants, and flavonoids. Silymarin is the active compound in milk thistle seeds that contains most of its medicinal properties. For best results, look for products that state on the label that each serving contains at least 70%-80% silymarin. Milk thistle can be taken in tea, capsule, tincture, or extract form. Anthony William recommends Vimergy® Organic Milk Thistle, Alcohol-Free Extract 20:1.
