Life Extension Milk Thistle -- 60 Vegetarian Capsules

• The liver is a large glandular organ, whose functions include decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, hormone production, secretion of bile, and conversion of sugars into glycogen, which it stores. The liver is also responsible for processing many vitamins and nutrients into a form that can be utilized by the body, as well as detoxification of various substances. Modern living involves daily exposure to substances that are toxic to our bodies, which imposes a heavy load on the liver. Therefore, a healthy liver is critical to well-being. It is important to ensure that the liver is being maintained at its functional best for optimal health.

Healthy liver, healthy body

Modern living creates a heavy load on the liver, making it critical to proactively maintain liver health. That’s where 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 liver-health promoting benefits. Other compounds found in milk thistle extracts, such as isosilybin A and B, contribute to milk thistle’s health benefits as well.

• Hard-Working Liver Health - Let’s face it: your liver is one of your hardest-working organs.

Milk Thistle is a way to show your liver some love!
