Milk thistle is rich in silymarin, a mixture of bioactive flavonoids that protects the liver from chemical and environmental stressors, and supports liver cells’ ability to synthesize new proteins, assisting the organ’s regenerative capacity. Milk thistle helps increase glutathione production by upregulating the NrF2 pathway. Finally, this herb works to balance the activity of COX and LOX pathways to promote healthy inflammatory response.*
