Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is an herbal plant that has been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. It is native to the Mediterranean region and has been used to treat a variety of conditions, including liver disease, gallbladder problems, and high cholesterol.

The active ingredient in milk thistle is silymarin, which is believed to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some potential benefits of milk thistle include supporting liver function, reducing inflammation, improving insulin resistance, and potentially lowering cholesterol levels.

Milk thistle is typically taken as a dietary supplement in capsule or tablet form.
