Milk Thistle Extract Powder

Milk Thistle is a traditional European hepatoprotective herb. Its active compound silymarin is recognized by both the US Pharmacopeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) as a liver protectant. Modern research confirms its antioxidant, anti-fibrotic, and hepatocyte-regenerating properties, making it a clinically supported adjuvant for alcoholic liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Key Active Components:

Silymarin (≥30%-80%)

Silybin (Core component, 50%-70% of silymarin)

Flavonoids (e.g., Quercetin)

Unsaturated Fatty Acids (Linoleic acid, Oleic acid)

Physical Properties:
