2. Milk Thistle Helps in Protecting your Liver:
Milk thistle has been proven to be quite effective for keeping the liver healthy.
Upon regular usage of the extract, people with liver damage (caused by hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, liver cancer, or even non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) experience a significant change.
Milk thistle is used as a complementary therapy for these people that underwent liver damage.
Not only that, milk thistle is used to protect the liver from toxins like amatoxin that is found in death cap mushrooms.
Various studies have discovered that liver function can be further improved in people suffering from liver disease through milk thistle supplements, which also suggest that milk thistle can help in reducing liver damage, as well as liver inflammation.
Another study by NCBI talks about the hepatoprotective effect of silymarin and how it may increase the life expectancy of people with liver cirrhosis caused by alcoholic liver disease.
