Certified European Milk Thistle

Milk thistle extract has long been valued for its role in ensuring healthy liver function and it is also a powerful antioxidant (1-10). This extract consists of silibinin and other similar compounds. Until recently, researchers believed silibinin was the most biologically active ingredient in milk thistle extract. Highly advanced extraction technology has now enabled scientists to isolate silymarin constituents and test their efficacy against various cell lines. Among the compounds tested, a silymarin constituent called isosilybin B proved to be the most efficient in maintaining healthy cell division (11).

Certified European Milk Thistle contains standardized, premium-quality potencies of silymarin, silibinin and isosilybin A and B, providing the full spectrum of milk thistle compounds that promote a healthy liver and prostate (6-18).

Certified European Milk Thistle is both grown and processed in Europe. The botanical extract in Certified European Milk Thistle is a triple standardized milk thistle extract. In addition to an optimal 80% standardization of the main active compounds, silymarin flavonolignans, Certified European Milk Thistle is further standardized to three highly active isomers: silibinins, isosilybin A and isosilybin B.
