What liver benefits can milk thistle provide?

Heilnatura Milk Thistle capsules contain a premium milk thistle extract standardized to 80% silymarin. Sourced from the seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum), a traditionally valued medicinal plant in the Asteraceae family, each silymarin capsule delivers a consistently high concentration of active compounds.

The silymarin extract consists of bioactive flavonoids (silybin, silychristin, silydianin) with strong antioxidant properties. Its action includes stabilizing liver cell membranes and protecting against hepatotoxic substances. In addition, silymarin can enhance protein synthesis and activate DNA repair mechanisms, supporting the regeneration of healthy liver cells.

• Liver protection and detox support: Silymarin capsules may be helpful as adjunct support in liver conditions such as cirrhosis

• Improved liver values: Studies show positive effects on key markers. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) can be significantly reduced

• Reduced fat accumulation: Milk thistle extract may help decrease fat deposits in the liver (hepatic steatosis)

• Cholesterol: The capsules may also help lower cholesterol levels

• Cellular protection: Antioxidant action helps protect liver cells from free radicals
