Milk thistle capsules

Milk thistle capsules contain the natural active ingredient silymarin, obtained from milk thistle dry fruit extract. The milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a remarkably pretty, violet-flowering plant with spiky stems and leaves which belongs to the composite plants. It is mainly to be found in the Mediterranean region, and grows there on dry, stony ground, at the sides of paths and livestock pastures. From its seed-like fruit, an effective ingredient complex can be obtained which is named based on the scientific designation for the milk thistle, Silymarin. Only healthy livers can produce bile, which is important for the digestion.

Each capsule contains 200 mg dry extract of milk thistle fruits, standardised to a minimum content of 80 % silymarin.
