Milk Thistle Herb (Silybum Marianum)

The liver herb — gentle daily liver and digestive support from the whole aerial parts of the celebrated milk thistle plant.

While milk thistle seeds contain the highest concentration of silymarin, the whole herb — leaves and aerial parts — of Silybum marianum offers a broader, gentler liver and digestive tonic profile, rich in flavonoids, bitter compounds, and anti-inflammatory constituents. Traditionally used as a vegetable and bitter digestive tonic across European folk medicine, the herb provides supportive liver, gallbladder, and digestive benefits alongside milder antioxidant protection, and is ideal for daily maintenance and blending.
