Description
Milk thistle, specifically the silymarin complex extracted from its seeds, is a widely used herbal supplement recognized for its potential liver-protecting, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Research suggests it may offer benefits for liver health, blood sugar management, and cholesterol reduction. While generally considered safe, mild gastrointestinal discomfort and allergic reactions are possible. Further high-quality research is needed to fully understand and confirm these effects.
