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 substance 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. This is why we have added the substance choline, which is like a vitamin and is proven to contribute towards a normal lipometabolism and helps maintain and normal, healthy liver function. The trace element zinc is a component of many enzymes and makes an important contribution towards a normal metabolism, including fats, fatty acids, carbohydrates and proteins.
Each capsule contains 200 mg dry extract of milk thistle fruits, standardised to a minimum content of 80% silymarin.
