Silymarin improves liver protection
Cardioprotective and Hepatoprotective Potential of Silymarin in Paracetamol-Induced Oxidative Stress.
Most Relevant Research
We investigated the effects of silymarin on liver and heart health under oxidative stress from paracetamol. In a controlled study with 28 male mice, silymarin showed a strong potential to reduce liver injury markers and improve liver enzyme levels after treatment.
Histopathological assessments revealed less tissue damage and inflammation in mice treated with silymarin compared to those that only received paracetamol. Overall, these findings demonstrate that silymarin is a promising option to help protect the liver and heart from oxidative stress-related injury.

Detox support
Most Useful Review
This supplement is excellent for liver detox while undergoing treatment for Lyme disease and mold toxin illness, which can adversely affect liver function. My ALT levels were consistently high, but after starting milk thistle, they returned to normal. My doctor was very impressed with the results, and I highly recommend this product for liver support.

Hives finally cleared
Most Useful Review
I had a rash/hives that I believe originated from eating berries sprayed with pesticides, even though they were from a Farmers Market. Shortly after consuming the berries, I broke out in a horrible rash all over my body. After eleven days with increasing welts and severe itching, I began taking two Milk Thistle capsules a day. Within four days, the rash finally cleared. While I can't say for certain that the Milk Thistle was the cause, I suspect that cleansing my liver had a positive effect on my skin.

This is a wonderful product! It eliminated pain in my right hypochondrium and improved my skin colour. The capsules are smooth, easy to swallow, and do not stick. I will certainly buy more.

Silibinin shows promise for asthma
Silibinin attenuates allergic airway inflammation in mice.
Most Relevant Research
We examined how silibinin, a compound found in milk thistle, affects allergic asthma in a mouse model. Our findings showed that silibinin significantly helped reduce airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, mainly by targeting the NF-κB pathway. This suggests that silibinin might offer protective benefits against allergic airway conditions by moderating inflammatory responses. While our research found promising results in mice, further studies are necessary to confirm its effectiveness in human asthma treatment.

Product caused irritation
Most Useful Review
While this Life Extension product is good quality, it caused my eyes to itch and become irritated. I have seasonal allergies, including to pollen, which may explain my reaction. I have used other milk thistle products without adverse effects. Although I was sensitive to this product, others may not have the same experience.

Nausea and gas pains
Most Useful Review
This last order was a different formula than previously supplied. After taking it for several days, I experienced terrible gas pains, nausea, and loss of appetite. I thought something serious was wrong. I stopped taking this product, and the symptoms gradually subsided and have not returned. I WILL NOT take this again and do not recommend anyone else do so either.
