The liver is an overworked organ that detoxifies blood and performs numerous vital functions. Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is an edible herbaceous annual or biennial plant native to warm, dry areas in southern Europe and northern Africa, and has been used as food in the countries surrounding the Mediterranean. Milk thistle has been used for liver problems for over 2,000 years. In 1960, German scientists identified a group of active ingredients collectively called silymarin (silybinin, isosilybinin, silychristin, and silydianin, etc) from milk thistle, mainly from the seeds. Silymarin in the milk thistle extracts is known to protect the liver by strengthening the outer membranes of liver cells, which prevents toxins from entering the cells. Silymarin also stimulates protein synthesis in liver cells, which helps to regenerate and repair the liver. Milk thistle silymarin compounds are also strong antioxidants, and have been shown to reduce damage to liver cells caused by repeated use of some prescription drugs, and may protect liver from alcohol (ethanolic damage), cirrhosis, hepatitis, and pollutants. Recent studies have shown that Milk thistle extract may also be beneficial for reducing the chance for certain cancers. With almost no known side effects (Milk thistle is a food!) and well-known hepatoprotective efficacy, it is said that Milk thistle can't be beat as a liver protector.
Artemisia vulgaris, Corydalis turtschaninovii rhizome, and Cyperus rotundus rhizome are finest hepatotonic herbs that support the liver, and have been used either as food or medicinal herbs for thousands of years in Asia.
