Product Overview

Milk thistle is an edible herbaceous plant native to the warm, dry areas in southern Europe, Northern Africa and countries surrounding the Mediterranean. Milk thistle has been used to treat liver problems for over 2,000 years, and has become very popular in the nutraceutical market as a liver tonic. It is important to understand that today more than ever, it is necessary to protect your liver from all the toxins it is exposed to. We need to comprehend the importance of the liver, how it works and what it does to help us stay healthy. It would not be over stating things if it was said that the liver is one the most over worked organs in the body. It is constantly bombarded by toxins, in every category. The liver detoxifies the blood and performs thousands of other vital functions. Silymarin contains active phyto chemicals called (silybinin, isosilybinin, silychristin, and silydianin, etc) that are derived mainly from the seeds. The Silymarin found in milk thistle is known to protect the liver by strengthening the outer membranes of liver cells, which prevents toxins from entering the cells. Silymarin also stimulates protein synthesis in liver cells, which helps to regenerate and repair the liver. Milk Thistle’s silymarin compounds are also strong antioxidants, and have been shown to reduce damage to liver cells caused by repeated use of some prescription drugs. It may also protect the liver from alcohol damage such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, and other pollutants. More recently, studies using Milk thistle have shown that it may also be beneficial for reducing the chance of developing certain types of cancer. It is very safe to take long term, with almost no known side effects! Other studies have shown that Milk thistle can be used to treat viral chronic hepatitis B or C. The above research shows how effective Milk Thistle can be if it is taken for an appropriate amount of time, and in the correct dose form. Milk Thistle is so well respected as a therapeutic agent that many health care practitioners around the world prescribe Milk Thistle to treat a variety of problems. Many of these health problems you might not normally connect with liver health, they include poor digestion, female hormonal problems, constipation, mood disorders, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries), and skin conditions such as psoriasis and even acne. Many of the healing properties that Milk Thistle offers coincide with its ability to help the liver function at a higher level. And since the liver metabolizes hormones, foods and other nutrients it would make sense that if the organ was working correctly, the above medical problems may not occur! So, let Mother Nature do what she does best, and let OmniVit be her delivery system, take your Milk Thistle everyday.
