Each capsule of Patient One Milk Thistle supplies 250 mg of milk thistle extract, standardized to contain a minimum of 80% of the flavonoid silymarin.
A common herb native to the Mediterranean, milk thistle has been broadly used for its nutritional support of liver function for two centuries. Seeds of the dried milk thistle flower are rich in silymarin, a bioflavonoid complex of silybin, silydianin, and silychristin. Silymarin is responsible for milk thistle’s powerful activities in the liver, stimulating protein synthesis in hepatic cells and providing antioxidant support to protect the liver and help neutralize free radicals.
