People have traditionally used milk thistle for liver (the body’s most important detoxifying organ) and gallbladder disorders. The primary function of the liver is detoxification. The liver neutralizes harmful poisons and turns them into harmless substances. The liver is responsible for filtering the blood to remove toxins and excess hormones, and it secretes bile, which collects the waste products and carries them away from the liver. Milk thistle extract helps protect and rejuvenate liver cells. It is recommended to use it to counteract the harmful actions of alcohol on the liver.
Long-term, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies have shown milk thistle extract to be effective in people with liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis and even cirrhosis-related diabetes. Milk thistle alters bile make-up, thereby potentially reducing the risk of gallstones.
Triple-Acting Milk Thistle by Natural Factors®:
Action 1: GENERATES New Liver Cells
The rapid replacement of dead liver cells with new ones is essential for the optimal functioning of the liver.
Action 2: PREVENTS Liver Congestion
Liver congested with fat deposits will not function well. Increasing the production of bile will expedite the removal of these fat deposits from the liver, which in turn will improve liver function.
Action 3: CONTROLS Liver Inflammation
The injury to the liver cells causes inflammation. If left uncontrolled, it can accelerate liver cell death.
