What is Milk Thistle Extract?

Milk Thistle Extract is derived from the seeds of Silybum marianum, a flowering herb related to the ragweed family. The primary active compound is silymarin, a complex of flavonolignans including silybin, silychristin, and silydianin, renowned for their powerful liver-protecting and antioxidant properties.
