Description
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) Extract 80% Silymarin
Milk Thistle Extract comes from the seeds of Silybum marianum, a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region. The plant has a long history of use in traditional European herbalism and remains one of the best-known traditional herbal botanicals.
Milk Thistle gets its name from the distinctive white markings on its leaves. According to traditional accounts, the milky appearance inspired the plant’s common name. Its purple flowers and spiny leaves also make Milk Thistle easy to recognise.
For centuries, herbalists have valued Milk Thistle as a traditional botanical. The seeds contain naturally occurring plant compounds known collectively as silymarin. This group of flavonolignans contributes to the characteristic composition of Milk Thistle and makes it particularly popular in herbal preparations.
Our extract contains a minimum of 80% silymarin, providing a concentrated and consistent form of these naturally occurring compounds. The standardized extract offers an easy way to include Milk Thistle in a traditional herbal routine.
Milk Thistle remains popular today among people interested in traditional European herbs and natural botanical products. You can add the powder to drinks or other foods, or choose capsules if you prefer a simple ready-to-use format.
The distinctive history, appearance and traditional use of Milk Thistle have made it a familiar herb in Western herbalism. Its concentrated seed extract provides a convenient option for those looking to explore this classic botanical.
