Organic Milk Thistle Seed Powder is probably the single best thing you can take for healing, cleansing and detoxifying your liver. Traditionally it has been used as a natural remedy for problems including cirrhosis, jaundice, hepatitis, and gallbladder disorders. Silymarin is the main active ingredient in milk thistle which acts as both an anti inflammatory and antioxidant. However, it is preferential to use milk thistle seed rather than a silymarin extract as the whole herb often has a more balanced effect.
Some of the possible health benefits of Milk Thistle:
* Provide heart benefits by lowering cholesterol levels
* Help diabetes in people who have type 2 diabetes and cirrhosis
* Reduce growth of cancer cells in breast, cervical, and prostate cancers
Medical research does suggest that milk thistle, combined with traditional treatment, can improve diabetes. Studies have shown a decrease in blood sugar levels and an improvement in cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes. By lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, milk thistle may help decrease the chance of developing heart disease. Researchers also have found that milk thistle improved insulin resistance, a key characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a serious condition. Talk to your doctor before taking any supplements as they may interfere with your medication.
