What Is Milk Thistle Used For?

Milk thistle is sometimes used as a natural treatment for liverproblems. These liverproblems include cirrhosis,jaundice, hepatitis, andgallbladder disorders.

Some claim milk thistle may also:

• Provide heart benefits by lowering cholesterol levels
• Help diabetes in people who have type 2 diabetes and cirrhosis

Does Milk Thistle Work?

Silymarin is the main active ingredient in milk thistle. Silymarin is both an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It’s unclear what benefits, if any, this may have in the body.

Is Milk Thistle Good for the Liver?

At this point, there is not enough scientific data to say whether or not milk thistle can help liver problems. Some early research suggests milk thistle may aid people with alcohol-related liver disease. Other studies show no improvement in liver function in this group of people.

Some studies also show milk thistle may offer a possible benefit for people whose liver is damaged by industrial toxins, such as toluene and xylene.

More information is needed before doctors can say milk thistle actually benefits the liver.
