Advanced Milk Thistleᴱᵁ

Health benefits overview:

Liver health formulas made with milk thistle have been used for centuries. Advanced Milk Thistle contains phytonutrients that can fight oxidative stress and promote optimal liver function.

This formula combines silybin with phosphatidylcholine and other phospholipids to enhance the absorption of milk thistle's active compounds. Are you looking for powerful liver health support to protect this vital organ?

Why this formula works:

Protecting your liver is beneficial for the overall health and vitality of your body. Milk thistle extract is one of nature's most potent weapons to support liver wellness.

Its bioactive compounds are known to stabilize cell membranes and assist in detoxification activities. Milk thistle can neutralize a wide range of free radicals throughout your body.

However, the active compound in milk thistle, silybin, does not dissolve well in water, making it difficult for your body to absorb. This formula overcomes this challenge by mixing silybin with phosphatidylcholine to boost uptake and delivery to your liver.

Backed by science:

Modern living puts a heavy load on the liver, making it critical to proactively maintain liver health. That's where hepato-protective herbs such as milk thistle come in.

Milk thistle for antioxidant and liver support

Milk thistle contains antioxidants that can promote not only liver health, but overall wellness. Silymarin is extracted from milk thistle and acts as a powerful free radical scavenger that encourages optimal liver function in its own right.

Advanced extraction technology has now allowed us to isolate other constituents within the silymarin extract itself and test their ability to support liver health and beyond.

Silibinin for biological activity

Silibinin is another compound present in our high-quality milk thistle extract. Made up of silybins A and B, it is the most biologically active flavonolignan component found in milk thistle extract. Its beneficial effects on the liver have been shown in pre-clinical and clinical studies.

Isosilybin for cellular health

Other milk thistle extracts called isosilybin A and B have proven to be the most efficient at helping to maintain healthy cell division. These specialized compounds offer additional protection for cellular wellness.

Enhanced delivery with phosphatidylcholine

Until recently, the technology did not exist to harness the plant's full benefits. The problem had to deal with the main bioactive component of milk thistle, called silybin, which does not dissolve well in water. This makes it difficult for your body to absorb all of it.

Scientists have overcome silybin's poor bioavailability by integrating it into a phytosome. A phytosome is a tiny sphere made out of plant-derived phosphatidylcholine.

Phosphatidylcholine is an ideal carrier molecule for silybin and facilitates its transport across the intestinal lining into the bloodstream. The silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex is absorbed much better than silybin alone, and its bioavailability to the liver is 10-fold greater.

Scientists believe that phosphatidylcholine molecularly bonds to silybin, helping to steer it through the cell membranes in the intestinal tract. This can improve the delivery of the benefits of milk thistle extracts for liver health.

Preclinical and clinical evidence showed that this silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex resulted in almost 5-fold greater concentrations of silybin in the bloodstream than silymarin alone. Its ultimate bioavailability to the liver, its target organ, is up to 10-fold greater than pure silymarin.

The milk thistle extract with phosphatidylcholine in Advanced Milk Thistle contains standardized concentrations of silybin and isosilybin A and B, which are typically not found in other milk thistle extracts.
