Milk Thistle has spiny, thistle like leaves with distinctive white markings and is native to the Mediterranean. It has been used in Europe for centuries and traditional uses of this herb include treatment for depression and liver problems. The liver and kidneys are the main organs in the body that are responsible for breaking down and detoxifying potentially harmful toxins and pathogens that are produced or accumulate in the body. The main active constituent isolated in this herb is Silymarin, which consists of three primary Flavono-lignans, Silybin, Silidanin and Silicristin. This product has been standardised by the content of Silybin as it is the most important and beneficial constituent of Silymarin. The seeds and leaves of the herb are commonly used in herbal preparations. This product has been formulated with Vega Phytoantioxidant Base, a unique natural blend of Apple, Mixed Wild Red Berry Concentrate and Prebiotic Acacia Gum. It is used as a filler in the formulation to bulk out the active ingredients and has been specially designed to support cardiovascular, digestive, immune and vision health.
