Since 2000, milk thistle has been known for its liver-protecting and digestion-aiding properties. It is also used to detoxify and restore the body. There is much more to the plant than its milky-white secretion, which squirts out of its crushed leaves. It would be a shame if this plant was only viewed as a liver tonic. It is so versatile and therapeutically useful that it is one of the most researched plants in terms of its effects on the skin, liver, heart, kidneys, gallbladder, and other organs.
What are the components of Milk Thistle?
Silymarin is the main active component in Silybum maranum, which is a group of flavonoids. These components are what give Silybum its therapeutic benefits. They include antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, detoxifying, rejuvenating, tonic, hepatoprotective and hypolipidemic properties.
What is the Milk Thistle’s effect on the body?
- Rejuvenates Liver
The liver is our largest processor and performs many detoxifying functions. It helps to cleanse our blood, remove toxins from our bodies, support hormone production, release glucose for energy, and produce bile that aids in fat absorption. It is believed that milk thistle can improve and protect liver health. This herb is highly recommended for optimizing liver function. The herb stimulates protein synthesis. Several research studies have confirmed its value in protecting the liver from alcohol damage, medicine residue buildup, scarring tissue, and liver dysfunctions.
- Regulates fat levels in the blood
The herb seems to lower cholesterol and LDL and regulate glucose levels in the blood. Milk thistle is thought to play an important role in maintaining heart health and optimal weight.
- Exhibits Antioxidant Actions
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, milk thistle is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. The herb is used to reduce inflammation in the liver, lungs, GI tract, brain, and other organs. It appears to have antioxidant properties by scavenging the formation of free radicals, activating antioxidant enzymes, and improving mitochondrial (the energy-producing organelles in the body) health.
- Enhances Immune System
The milk thistle has been said to have immune-boosting properties that could limit abnormal cell proliferation by protecting the outer layer of healthy cells against damage and mutation. It appears to block toxins from attaching to cell membrane receptors and counteract the harmful effects of chemicals, heavy metals, and pollutants that tax the body. It is also known as a powerful antidote for poisoning caused by death cap mushrooms and can help to overcome viral and bacterial infections.
- Improves Skin Health
Milk thistle’s anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, detoxifying, and regenerating properties may help reduce visible signs of aging. Milk thistle consumption may help to reduce acne, dark spots, and wrinkles.
- Supports for the Bones
Clinical studies have shown that silymarin can be a facilitator for bone cell regeneration, and inhibit osteoclasts which lead to bone loss. Silymarin supplementation may lead to an increase in bone density and optimal serum levels of osteocalcin and alkaline-phosphatase, two enzymes that promote bone growth and keep bone cells active.
- Improves Kidney and Gallbladder Health
It is believed that milk thistle has a positive impact on the digestive system in general. This means it can improve liver function, but also the kidneys, gallbladder, and pancreas. This herb is believed to cleanse these organs effectively and remove any deposits or waste that might accumulate in them.
- Neuroprotective benefits
The milk thistle seems to protect glutathione, a naturally occurring antioxidant. Reduced levels of glutathione are believed to be linked to neurodegenerative diseases and other illnesses. The milk thistle may also improve growth factor receptors, which control synaptic strengths and regulate nerve health.
