Milk thistle (Silybum marianum), also known as milk thistle, is a plant of the Asteraceae family. Its seed extract (silymarin) has been widely studied and used for its protective effect on the liver. As a natural liver-protecting ingredient, milk thistle extract needs long-term regular use to be effective, and severe liver disease requires medical treatment.

Main active ingredients
1. Silymarin
A flavonolignan complex containing a variety of active ingredients: silybin (about 50-70%), isosilybin, silydianin and silychristin.

2. Other ingredients
Fatty acids (such as linoleic acid), protein, vitamin E, flavonoids, etc.
Main effects
1. Liver protection
Promote liver cell regeneration: stimulate protein synthesis and accelerate the repair of damaged liver cells.
Detoxification: inhibits the damage of toxins (such as alcohol, drugs, heavy metals) to the liver and enhances glutathione levels.
Anti-fibrosis: delays the progression of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, and is clinically used as an auxiliary treatment for alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, etc.
2. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
Removes free radicals, reduces oxidative stress, and inhibits the release of inflammatory factors (such as TNF-α, IL-6).
3. Regulates metabolism
Lowers cholesterol: inhibits cholesterol synthesis and improves dyslipidemia.
Assists in sugar control: may regulate blood sugar by improving insulin resistance (more research support is needed).
4. Potential anti-cancer effect
Experiments show that it has an inhibitory effect on breast cancer and prostate cancer cells, which may be related to inducing apoptosis and inhibiting angiogenesis, but clinical evidence is limited.
5. Skin health
External use can reduce UV damage and inflammation, and improve skin problems such as acne and eczema.
Common dosage forms: capsules/tablets (standardized extracts usually contain 70-80% silymarin), liquid extracts, topical ointments, etc.
