Viridian Milk Thistle Herb and Seed Extract

Viridian Milk Thistle Herb and Seed Extract is a premium liver support supplement combining two complementary forms of milk thistle — a whole herb preparation from the aerial parts of the plant alongside a highly standardised seed extract — to provide comprehensive hepatoprotective and liver-regenerative nutritional support. Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is one of the oldest and most extensively researched medicinal plants for liver health, with a history of therapeutic use spanning more than two thousand years.

The seeds of milk thistle contain a group of flavonolignan compounds collectively known as silymarin, with silybin being the most bioactive constituent. Silymarin has been shown in numerous studies to protect liver cells from damage by stabilising cell membranes and preventing the entry of toxic substances, including alcohol metabolites, heavy metals, and environmental pollutants. It also stimulates protein synthesis within hepatocytes (liver cells), supporting cell regeneration and the repair of damaged liver tissue.

Silymarin has demonstrated significant antioxidant activity within the liver, neutralising free radicals generated by the metabolism of alcohol, medications, and environmental toxins. It also supports the production of glutathione — the body's most important endogenous antioxidant — which is heavily concentrated in liver tissue and plays a central role in detoxification processes. The liver is the primary organ of detoxification in the body, processing everything absorbed from the digestive system, and supporting its function is important for overall health and vitality.

This supplement is formulated with 100% active ingredients and no artificial additives. Suitable for vegans and produced in the UK to Viridian's strict ethical standards.
