Silymarin, an extract taken from the seeds of the milk thistle plant, is known for its liver-protecting properties through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

• Antioxidant: Help to neutralise harmful molecules called free radicals. Free radicals cause stress on our liver and fat build up can contribute to liver injury so Silymarin can help to reduce this stress and protect our liver cells.
• Anti-inflammatory: Silymarin helps to reduce the release of Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) which is what causes inflammation in our liver. 
• Increases dissolution of carbon tetrachloride which is what causes liver damage from fatty liver
• Helps to lower cholesterol

• ETHIS-094 is a euromed trademark for Milk Thistle seed extract which is harvested under “Good Agricultural and Collection Practices”(GACP) regulations. Such regulations are exceptionally important because it helps ensure that the final product is safe, effective and of high quality. It also provides transparency in the supply chain. 
• These regulations govern how the plant seed is being selected, harvested and manufactured. GACP guidelines specify that only suitable plant varieties with medicinal properties are being selected for harvest. They outline when and how to harvest milk thistle to ensure highest concentration of Silymarin and provide recommendations for soil preparation and irrigation.

Milk Thistle is a potent antioxidant that supports healthy liver function by combating oxidative stress. Its flavonoids have been shown to protect liver cells from toxic substances, prevent inflammation and lipid buildup. It has also shown to reduce liver fat and significantly decrease its size and weight.
