What Is Milk Thistle Extract?
Milk Thistle Extract is derived from the seeds of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn., a globally recognized botanical used in liver wellness and antioxidant formulations.
Its key active complex is Silymarin, naturally containing flavonolignans such as:
- Silybin (Silibinin)
- Silychristin
- Silydianin
These compounds are widely used in nutraceutical products focused on:
- Liver wellness support
- Antioxidant defense
- Daily detox lifestyle formulas
- Metabolic health formulas
- Healthy aging supplements
