The milk thistle herb is pretty hard to miss with its bright purple color and spiky appearance. But it's the inside of the herb that's really the big deal. Silymarin, extracted from milk thistle, is an active ingredient believed to support liver health. It's also used as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
Each 300 mg Milk Thistle capsule from The Vitamin Shoppe brand includes 80% silymarin, taken right from that spiky, purple plant. Oh, and don't let the name fool you, milk thistle is totally dairy-free.
Benefits:
