Milk thistle has a long history of use for a variety of health issues, but it is most known and used for it's effectiveness in protecting and regenerating the liver. Milk thistle's sylmarin component is a powerful antioxidant and strengthens liver cell resistance to toxins, while at the same time stimulating cellular reproduction.
Super Milk Thistle X combines one part milk thistle extract and two parts phosphatidylcholine in a patented method. The process creates a superior form of milk thistle that is highly absorbed. Super Milk Thistle X also includes quality extracts of dandelion, which has a secretory function in the liver; artichoke, which has a long, successful history of liver support; and licorice, which enhances the immune system and promotes flow of bile and fat to and from the liver.
