Life Extension Advanced Milk Thistle Description

- 60 softgels
Liver health formulas made with milk thistle have been in use for centuries. Milk thistle extract contains phytonutrients that fight oxidative stress and support liver health. Combining silybin with phosphatidylcholine and other phospholipids enhances the absorption of milk thistle's active compounds, providing powerful liver health support.
Healthy liver, healthy body
Modern living creates a heavy load on the liver, making it critical to proactively maintain liver health. That’s where liver-friendly herbs such as milk thistle come in.
Milk thistle extract is called silymarin. This extract is a mixture of flavonolignans with powerful antioxidant activity that promotes healthy liver function. But advanced extraction technology allows us to isolate individual constituents within the silymarin extract itself, to create a high-quality milk thistle extract.
Other compounds in our milk thistle extract
Silibinin (also called silybin) is the most active and abundant flavonolignan found in milk thistle extract. Made up of silybins A and B, it has protective effects on the liver. Other compounds found in milk thistle extracts, such as isosilybin A and B, contribute to milk thistle’s health benefits as well.
Phospholipids enhance delivery
Silybin can be difficult for the body to absorb. Scientists have enhanced silybin’s bioavailability by integrating it into a phytosome. A phytosome is a tiny sphere made out of plant-derived phosphatidylcholine.
Clinical evidence showed that this silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex resulted in up to 3 times greater bioavailability compared to unformulated milk thistle extract.
-
A more absorbable milk thistle – The milk thistle plant contains compounds that support liver health and function, such as silymarin, silybin, isosilybin A and isosilybin B. The trouble is, they’re hard to absorb. But phospholipids improve absorption.
-
Liver health – Your liver’s primary function is detoxification, and this arduous job can take its toll. Milk thistle encourages liver health—which is key to overall health.
-
Phospholipid delivery system – Your body is mostly water. The active compounds in milk thistle don’t dissolve well in water. That makes it hard to get those nutrients where they need to go. Encasing them in phospholipids helps get them to your liver.
