The medicinal use of milk thistle dates back over 2000 years for treatment of liver and gallbladder conditions and as a bitter digestive stimulant. Modern research has confirmed that it is a very important plant for treatment of liver disease including fatty liver, chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. The liver protective effects of silymarin are remarkable; studies have demonstrated that it can prevent liver damage from such toxins as carbon tetrachloride and amanita mushrooms by preventing them from entering the liver cells (11). Silymarin is also a powerful antioxidant and promotes regeneration of damaged liver cells. Clinical studies have demonstrated significant improvement in cases of chronic hepatitis with liver enzyme levels returning to normal. New research shows promise for prostate and breast cancer and as a kidney cell protector.
