   Milk thistle is amazing.

   I started taking it because I took a couple of rounds of antibiotics and started to eventually feel side effects. My gut was pretty messed up. When I told my doctor about this, guess what he wanted to do? Place me on another round of antibiotics. Surprise, surprise. So then I decided to take the plunge and went to see a naturopath, or what my friends like to call a hippie dippy, witch doctor. Haha. And I felt like the naturopath gave me more insight to my body than ever before. He recommended a couple of herbs and milk thistle was one of them.

   I’m so glad I started taking this. I’ve read up on it a lot and it has crazy benefits. The thing about this herb is it’s not like you’ll notice a night and day difference right away or even within a few weeks. It’s a difference that you’ll notice big time in the long run…if that makes sense. It helps to clean the body out as a whole and once your liver is functioning well (milk thistle’s main superpower is liver detoxification), everything else will function better too.

   This is a side note….but I did notice something funny/interesting about this herb that I didn’t really expect. So, when it comes to drinking alcohol, I’m a light weight and I’ve always been the person that feels the nasty hung-over effects in the morning, even with just 1 – 2 glasses of wine. But one day, I decided to take milk thistle about 2 hours before going out ….and I noticed I wasn’t feeling as “susceptible” to the effects of alcohol as I normally do. I mean…I wouldn’t recommend using it to be able to drink more or anything, but if you’re a cheap drunk, you get the point. 😉 Then the next morning….to my surprise…. I woke up feeling great! Hell, I even went for a run….it was awesome! Milk thistle contains silymarin and silybin, antioxidants that are known to help protect the liver from toxins, including the effects of alcohol.

   It’s also shown to decrease, or even reverse, damage to the liver that’s been caused by prescription medications, antibiotics, pollution, heavy metals and so on. If you’re still undecided, I’ve included a bit more info about it below.

   It helps with:

   1. Liver Detoxification & Health
   It helps rebuild liver cells while removing toxins from the body that are processed through the liver. It’s effective at naturally reversing the harmful effects of alcohol, pesticides, jaundice, psoriasis, fatty liver, heavy metals in our water supply, pollution, and even poisons!

   The liver is actually our largest internal organ and is responsible for performing a number of essential detoxifying functions. Basically, if our liver is in bad shape, our whole body will be in bad shape. As a “blood purifier,” the liver needs to actively clean the blood each and every day in order to support nearly every system within our body.

   2. Helps Protect Against Cancer

   Milk thistle seeds are a high source of the antioxidant flavonoid called silymarin. Silymarin is associated with decreasing the risk for cancer development by boosting the immune system, fighting DNA damage and reversing cancerous tumor growth.

   In 2007, after reviewing numerous studies involving milk thistle therapeutic treatments, researchers at the University of Minnesota found that:

   “There is strong preclinical evidence for silymarin’s hepatoprotective and anticarcinogenic effects, including inhibition of cancer cell growth in human prostate, skin, breast, and cervical cells.” (4)

   This antioxidant stimulates protein synthesis and changes the outside layer of healthy cells, keeping them protected from damage and mutation. It inhibits toxins from dwelling in the body; helps with cell renewal; and counteracts the harmful effects of pollutants, chemicals and heavy metals that can cause “free radical damage.”

   3. Can Help Lower High Cholesterol

   Milk thistle benefits heart health and helps lower high cholesterol levels by lowering inflammation, cleaning the blood and preventing oxidative stress damage within the arteries.

   4. May Help Control or Prevent Diabetes

   One 2006 study conducted by the Department of Pharmacology at the Institute of Medicinal Plants found that when diabetic patients were given silymarin extract over four weeks, their fasting blood glucose and insulin levels improved significantly compared to patients receiving a placebo.

   This is likely true because the liver is partly responsible for regulating hormones, including the release of insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin is responsible for managing blood glucose (sugar) levels in the blood, which is especially important for those with diabetes.

   5. Helps Prevent Gallstones

   Milk thistle benefits help support the endocrine and gastrointestinal systems by aiding in the production of bile and enzymes, on top of helping clean the blood. Milk thistle can help purify the body of metabolic waste, thereby regulating the function of the gallbladder, in addition to the kidneys and spleen.

   6. Boosts Skin Health healthy skin, showered clean skin

   Milk thistle is considered to be a potent inhibitor of UV-induced oxidative stress that can cause skin diseases like skin cancer. Research also suggests that applying silymarin found in milk thistle to the skin reduces skin damage caused by radiation treatment in patients who have had treatments for cancer.

   7. Has Anti-Aging Effects

   Because milk thistle’s antioxidants help prevent free radical damage throughout the body and remove pollutants and waste from the blood and digestive tract, it can actually slow the aging process. This is true on both the surface of your skin and also within your organs.

   8. Milk Thistle and Glutathione

   Silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle, is an antioxidant that can protect against depletion of glutathione, which is a “master antioxidant” that’s extremely useful at helping prevent disease formation.

   Its biggest role is to help fight oxidative stress that leads to such diseases as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases. It can help prevent damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species, such as free radicals.

   Purchased this milk thistle to help with my wife’s liver enzymes levels. After a few months she went back to the doctor and her levels were down & she lost some weight as well. My levels were not as high as hers & now are in perfect range. So this pill has worked well for both of us.

   When this supplement arrived, we always check to see it our pill bottles are sealed tight, and this one was sealed very well…it had a seal around the lid, as well as a tight seal under the lid. The bottle was more than 3/4 full, not just a few pills with wasted air in a large bottle.

   The capsules are a light yellow in color and are an smaller medium size for most supplements. When the pills arrived we opened them and they had a light smell, that was fresh. The bottle says to take 1 capsules a day or as directed by your doctor; we take one pill & most of the time in the morning.

   Our family doctor recommended we start taking milk thistle (preferably one that was gluten free) about 3 months ago; and per our doctor we should look for one with a 30:1 extract ratio. Only time we take extra pills, is if we feel like we are getting worn down or might be getting a cold or the flu. These pills also seem to help with our energy levels when we feel worn down.

   We have taken two different brands and so far this one works the best for us. We also do not have to take two pills like the other version had us taking to get the same potency. We both have better liver levels, with my wife’s going up more than even the doctor thought they would in only a few months.

   Pros:
   Easy to take, small to medium size pill
   Not bitter & no bad aftertaste
   Helps with our liver levels & energy
   & Supports our energy level as well

   Cons:
   Has a few other ingredients, that are not needed…this is a major complaint we have with many different supplements.

   Overall we love this brand of milk thistle and we recommend these to anyone that is looking for help with liver levels or just wants to keep their liver healthy; this would be the product we would suggest to try. We already recommended this to some of our friends & family members, since we believe this supplement is effective & will help them as well.

   Thank you for you time & interest in our review. If we have been helpful or you have any questions, please let us know – Greg, Tina & Family

   I’ve been taking Jarrow’s Formula Milk Thistle to support my liver health, and it’s been great! The capsules are easy to swallow, and I like that it contains a high-quality, standardized extract. I feel like it’s helped with digestion and overall wellness. While I can’t see the effects directly, I trust the brand and plan to keep using it. My only wish is that the bottle came with more capsules for the price. Overall, a solid liver support supplement!

    I like that I can take these pills on an empty stomach, and they don’t cause upset. I’ve experienced NO adverse side effects from taking this. Also, the price is great! However, I don’t notice anything different about my health, either. I mean, nothing. I won’t say the pills have no affect, because my body is like this with a lot of supplements. I don’t notice any changes in the way I feel or my outer appearance. Nothing more, nothing less. I will finish the bottle, but I probably won’t purchase again.
    Edit: So I have to come back and say that I believe this supplement is doing more for me than I initially thought. It’s been subtle. I realized a couple of days ago that I’m not as sleepy after I eat, and that I have a bit more energy to get through the evening. I have a 10 year old son, so if you have kids you know how that goes! Also, the circles around my eyes are getting a little easier to cover up with concealer, so although they don’t appear any lighter when I’m not wearing makeup, obviously something has changed. I have less water weight gain and more muscle definition without a lot of exercise; although I have more energy to get a small work out in before bed. I think I will continue to take these.
