In your body, blood is circulating all the time. Your immune system is constantly fighting off various illnesses, germs and toxins. It does this well or poorly. All of these beaten opponents end up in the blood stream at some point.
Your liver is the main organ whose job is to "filter" out these beaten adversaries. The liver is constantly trying to rid the body of toxins, drugs and other pollutants. Also, anyone with alcohol problems is putting a great strain on the liver.
Milk Thistle is a superb blood cleanser. It has been scientifically proven that milk thistle helps to strengthen the functions of the liver. Milk thistle is rich in the chemical silymarin which increases bile solubility thus helping to prevent or ease gallstones.
Milk thistle has been used as a remedy for over 2000 years. The German government approves milk thistle as supportive treatment for cirrhosis and chronic inflammatory liver conditions. In 1960, German scientists identified a group of active ingredients collectively called silymarin (silybinin, isosilybinin, silychristin, and silydianin, etc) from milk thistle seeds.
