Your liver is one of the hardest-working organs in your body. It processes toxins, metabolises nutrients, and supports nearly every other organ system. With today’s modern lifestyle—filled with processed foods, alcohol, pollution, and stress—your liver can become overburdened. That’s where milk thistle, a natural herbal remedy, comes in.
Used for centuries in traditional medicine, milk thistle is now supported by scientific evidence for its liver-protective properties. At New Nordic, we’ve harnessed the power of milk thistle in our popular Active Liver™ tablets to provide natural and effective liver support.
What is Milk Thistle?
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a flowering herb native to Mediterranean regions. The seeds of the plant contain a powerful antioxidant complex called silymarin, which is responsible for most of milk thistle’s health benefits.
Silymarin has been shown to:
- Support liver cell regeneration
- Protect liver cells from toxins
- Fight oxidative stress
- Promote bile production and digestion
Due to these actions, milk thistle is commonly used to support overall liver function, particularly in individuals exposed to toxins or those with liver-related issues.
The Science Behind Milk Thistle and Liver Health
- Liver Cell Protection
Silymarin acts as an antioxidant, helping to reduce free radical damage in liver cells. This is particularly important for people exposed to alcohol, pollutants, medications, or high-fat diets—all of which can strain the liver.
- Detoxification Support
The liver’s primary function is to filter toxins from the blood. Milk thistle supports this natural detoxification process, enabling the liver to remove harmful substances more efficiently.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Chronic inflammation can damage liver tissue over time. Studies have shown that silymarin can help reduce inflammation in the liver, promoting better long-term health.
- Regeneration of Liver Cells
Research suggests that milk thistle may help regenerate liver cells, aiding in recovery from damage caused by toxins or disease. This regenerative effect is one of the reasons why milk thistle is often recommended in complementary treatments for liver disorders.
