Milk Thistle Capsules - Take care of your liver and it will take care of you. This vital organ is the 2nd largest in your body, after your skin, and the only one that can regenerate itself (a new liver can be regenerated from as little as 25% of the original). To date, there are no artificial machines that can duplicate all of the functions of your liver, so take care of it. Not only does your liver secrete bile which is what allows fat to be broken down into fuel (not to be confused with carnitine which is a transport mechanism), but it also detoxifies foreign substances to the body – such as alcohol, drugs, heavy metals and the like. There are other functions that the liver performs (like old blood cell destruction, converting ammonia to urea, and many more), but for the discussion here, let’s focus on drug detoxification. Taking a milk thistle supplement has been shown to decrease liver cell destruction by alcohol, and increase the repair of cells damaged by same, due to its powerful liver-protecting substance called silymarin. Our milk thistle is of the highest quality (read on) and therefore you are assured of getting all of its benefits.
Right underneath your liver is another, much smaller organ called the gall bladder. While it is true you can live without one, it puts more of a strain on your liver. Why? Because your gall bladder stores bile, which is what the liver secretes to emulsify fats (thus enable them to be metabolized). That is why folks who have had theirs removed are either directed to eat less fat, or take a medicine that enables fat digestion (which, folks, is a drug and must be detoxified in the liver, to put a further strain on it). Taking a milk thistle supplement has been shown to increase the quality of bile from the liver, which in turn increases the quality of bile stored in the gall bladder, thus protecting it from diseased bile which can cause it to become inflamed or damaged. The human body is very dynamic – any weakness in the system can alter other parts of the system. It’s best to take care of all the links, and using our milk thistle supplement will help.
Our milk thistle supplement is standardized to 80% silymarin, which means that you will get 80 mg of silymarin for every 100mg capsule of milk thistle you eat. Many other supplements are only extracted out to 70% silymarin, so you are assured ours is of the highest potency. It is this particular substance which is the active ingredient in milk thistle, so this is the one you want isolated, which ours is. You will not find a finer milk thistle supplement on the market.
