Lamberts Milk Thistle 4500mg
Guaranteed 200mg of silymarin
Silymarin is the active principle
from the fruit of Silybum marianum, better known as the Milk
Thistle. Milk thistle is one of the most extensively studied
herbs in use today, with over 300 scientific studies on its
chemistry and application.
It used to take over 4.5 grams of whole milk thistle herb to
produce 150mg of milk thistle extract, the amount found in just
one of the Lamberts Milk Thistle tablets, with a guaranteed
level of 105mg silymarin per tablet.
Now they are using over 8.5 grams
of whole milk thistle! From this they produce 286mg of milk
thistle extract that is standardised so it is guaranteed that
each tablet provides a full 200mg of silymarin, making it one of
the strongest available! And we haven't passed this additional
cost on, we've kept the price just as it was.
Ingredients typically per tablet:
8580mg Milk Thistle (provided by
286mg of a 30:1 extract)
providing 200mg
Silymarin
Tableted with:
DiCalcium Phosphate, Cellulose, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Stearic
Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Crosslinked Cellulose Gum,
Glycerin.

More About Milk Thistle
Liver detoxification
and regeneration
Silymarin, the key active compound in
milk thistle, is one of the most potent liver protective substances
known. Silymarin has been shown to increase glutathione production in
the liver by around 30%, thus increasing detoxification capabilities
significantly. Silymarin also stimulates protein synthesis in the liver
encouraging the growth of healthy liver cells. In addition, bile activity
is stimulated with the ingestion of milk thistle, an attribute that
is supportive to both the liver and gall bladder.
Normalising skin cell replication
Studies show that silymarin can normalise
skin cell replication by correcting the ratio between levels of cAMP
and cGMP (the compounds that govern skin cell maturation and multiplication).
This action, combined with the herb's anti-inflammatory effect has led
to substantial clinical success in the treatment of psoriasis.
Antioxidant
Due to silymarin's ability to raise glutathione
levels in the liver, antioxidant systems are greatly enhanced. Glutathione
is used to make glutathione peroxidase, the body's most potent free
radical fighting enzyme. The flavonoids contained in milk thistle also
exert direct antioxidant capabilities.
Anti-inflammatory
Milk thistle provides anti-inflammatory
actions due to the inhibition of leukotrienes, the boosting of antioxidant
enzyme systems and the elimination of certain toxins that tend to trigger
inflammatory reactions.
