Milk thistle shows anti-psoriatic effects
We investigated how milk thistle extract might help treat psoriasis in mice. Our study involved forty Swiss albino mice divided into four groups, including a test group treated with the milk thistle extract after inducing psoriasis with imiquimod.
The results were encouraging, showing that the extract significantly reduced skin symptoms like redness and scaling, similar to traditional cortisone treatments. It worked by inhibiting specific cellular pathways, reducing inflammation and boosting antioxidant defenses, suggesting that milk thistle could be an effective new option for psoriasis treatment.

We investigated the effects of silymarin, a natural compound from milk thistle, on psoriasis in a mouse model. Employing a robust approach that evaluated specific signaling pathways, we found that silymarin significantly targets the TGF-β1/miR-21 pathway.
This treatment not only blocked harmful cell cycle progression and reduced keratinocyte differentiation but also alleviated inflammation. Our findings suggest that silymarin promotes healthier skin by regulating lipid synthesis and inflammatory responses, pointing to its potential as a supportive therapy for psoriasis.

Effective psoriasis treatment
This supplement works wonders for my psoriasis! I've been taking it since May 2013, and it has significantly improved my condition. If I follow the instructed dosage, my blood pressure elevates excessively, so I only take two pills each morning and use an oily cream at night. The progress is slow, but at this rate, I anticipate being completely psoriasis-free by next summer!

Relieves psoriasis flare-ups
I found this product effective for my psoriasis. After taking it twice with a one-month break, alongside a B-complex vitamin, I noticed improvement after about three weeks. I also shared it with my husband, who mentioned that he experienced no hangover effects from silymarin.

Aids hepatic function
I bought it for my parents during a course. My mother experienced psoriasis flare-ups, and when she concentrated on her liver health by taking silymarin and other pharmaceuticals, it did help. However, the effects weren't immediate.

Cleansing remedy for psoriasis
We choose another product from the same brand. We use Now Foods, Silymarin, Milk Thistle Extract. It's an effective cleansing remedy, especially for those with psoriasis. I recommend starting the treatment after the full moon, as the body tends to detoxify more effectively during the waning moon.
