Organic Milk Thistle Seed

Milk Thistle Seed (Silybum marianum) has been used for over two thousand years for its positive effects on the liver and gallbladder. The ancient philosophers Pliny and Galen each extolled the virtues of this herb for liver cleansing. Besides helping to protect the liver, Milk Thistle Seed promotes optimal liver function.

Interestingly, Milk Thistle Seed has been routinely administered for people that accidentally ingested amanita—a toxic mushroom. It is also fed to some animals, such as pigs, as a preventative measure against the accidental ingestion of these deadly fungi.
