Have a Question?
-
What are the benefits of taking Life Extension, Milk Thistle?
Life Extension Milk Thistle offers several potential benefits, primarily centered around liver health and detoxification. The active compound in milk thistle, silymarin, is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help protect liver cells from damage and support their regeneration.
-
What happens if you take milk thistle every day?
Taking Life Extension Milk Thistle daily may provide ongoing support for liver health and function. Regular use of milk thistle has been associated with improved liver enzyme levels in some studies, suggesting a protective effect on the liver. Some users report experiencing better digestion, clearer skin, and increased energy levels with consistent use, although individual results can vary.
-
Is there a downside to taking milk thistle?
While milk thistle is generally considered safe for most people, there can be potential downsides for some individuals. Some people may experience mild digestive side effects such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea. In rare cases, milk thistle may cause allergic reactions, particularly in people allergic to plants in the same family (like ragweed).
-
Does milk thistle really help repair the liver?
Milk thistle has shown promise in supporting liver repair and regeneration in various studies. The active compound silymarin is believed to stimulate protein synthesis in liver cells, potentially aiding in the regeneration of damaged liver tissue. While it may not repair the liver in all cases, especially in advanced liver disease, milk thistle can help protect liver cells from further damage and support the liver's natural healing processes.
-
Is milk thistle safe for liver and kidneys?
Milk thistle is generally considered safe for both the liver and kidneys in most individuals. Its protective effects are particularly well-studied for liver health, but some research also suggests potential benefits for kidney function. Milk thistle's antioxidant properties may help protect both organs from oxidative stress and inflammation.
-
What is the best drink to flush your liver?
While no single drink can completely flush the liver, certain beverages can support liver health and function. A simple and effective option is plain water, which helps maintain hydration and supports the liver's detoxification processes. Herbal teas such as dandelion root or green tea are also popular choices, as they contain compounds that may support liver function.
