Active Ingredient

Milk Thistle

Silybum marianum

Liver-protective herb that supports detoxification pathways and regenerates liver cells

How It Works
Mechanism of action and scientific basis

Milk thistle contains silymarin, a powerful antioxidant that protects liver cells from toxin damage and stimulates protein synthesis to regenerate liver tissue. It enhances the liver's ability to process and eliminate toxins, including heavy metals, while preventing oxidative stress during detoxification.
