Milk thistle has been used for thousands of years as a medicinal plant. It is native to the Mediterranean region but can now be found throughout the world. It’s generally seen as beneficial for liver, kidney, and gallbladder issues, but research in recent years indicates it may do even more.
Silymarin, a substance within milk thistle, is largely credited with its benefits. It has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and could be the leading cause of milk thistle’s benefits. Scientists isolating and researching this compound has led to milk thistle being approved for treating liver disease back in 1986, a considerable achievement for a natural substance in this world that worships Big Pharma above all.
