Milk Thistle Tablets - A Potential Effective Supplement for Protecting Your Liver
Your Liver is an imperative organ that operates hundreds of functions. It helps you metabolize the food you eat, convert it to energy and store that energy until your body needs it. It also helps remove toxins from medications or other sources out of your bloodstream.
Hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis are some types of liver disease, and their symptoms are jaundice, nausea, swollen ankles, and fatigue. However, many types of liver disease are manageable but can cause permanent damage if left unchecked. If I say that our Milk Thistle Effervescent Tablet is a potentially useful supplement against many liver diseases mentioned above, I will not be wrong.
What is Milk Thistle and Silymarin?
Milk Thistle, native to Mediterranean countries, is a flowering herb with characteristic white veins on its leaves. Milk Thistle Extract supplements have traditionally been used to treat liver and gallbladder disorders, promote breast milk production, and protect the liver from alcohol and snake bites.
Silymarin is the main active group of compounds (flavonoids) present in Milk Thistle Extract that are known to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Each of our great tasting effervescent tablet contains 100mg of Milk Thistle Extract, which further includes 70mg of Silymarin1.
Health Benefits of Milk Thistle Effervescent Tablets
Modern science has proved through hundreds of different studies that Milk Thistle has impressive health benefits for various ailments. Having adequate levels in your body can help you in many ways.
- Powerfully Protects Your Liver - Milk Thistle is nature's detoxifying plant that exhibits liver-protective effects. Studies show that many people who have liver damage due to alcoholic and nonalcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer have reported improvements in their liver function due to Milk Thistle supplements' daily consumption2.
It suggests that Milk Thistle can help reduce liver inflammation and liver damage3. It is Silymarin that inhibits the ability of toxins (such as alcohol, radiation, carbon tetrachloride, phenyl hydrazine, and excess iron) to bind to the membrane of liver cells. It can also reduce dangerous liver enzymes4.
Milk Thistle Tablets also helps regenerate the damaged liver cells, as depicted by a study5. The defense system for environmental toxins is your liver. You can strengthen this defense system by adding our effervescent Milk Thistle tablets to your diet to keep the toxins outside your body.
- Lowers Blood Sugar Levels - Type 2 diabetes is generally characterized by high blood sugar levels, insulin resistance, and insufficient insulin production. Many research studies show that Milk Thistle can significantly lower blood sugar levels, decrease insulin resistance, and lower HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, its results are comparable to those of diabetic medications and can also reduce kidney disease risk6.
- Reduces Heart Disease Risk - Milk Thistle effectively reduces the risk of heart disease (which is the leading cause of death worldwide) in diabetic patients, as described in many studies. It reduces the levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and increases the good HDL cholesterol in the blood7.
- Improves Cognition - Milk Thistle has been traditionally used for over two thousand years as an herbal remedy to treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Milk Thistle may increase the resistance against oxidative stress, which is the potential cause of neurological conditions in old age8.
- Promotes Healthy Skin - Oxidative stress is the leading cause of acne and other inflammatory skin conditions. These may be improved by taking Milk Thistle supplements, as depicted by some studies, due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Silymarin9.
- Increases Breast Milk Production - A randomized study has shown that adding Milk Thistle tablets to nursing mothers' diet may increase their breast milk production due to more prolactin (milk-producing hormone)10.
