Milk thistle for the liver and digestion

Milk thistle is traditionally used to support liver function and digestion. This use has given the herb a well-known place in European herbal practice. You therefore often see it used by people who consciously pay attention to their diet and digestion.

The plant is recognisable by its purple flowers and leaves with white markings. The seed naturally contains silymarin, a group of plant compounds that receives much attention in research on milk thistle. Silymarin has antioxidant properties: it can help neutralise free radicals.

Living Nutrition uses the seed as its base. The capsule therefore contains the different components of this part of the plant together.

Comparing milk thistle seed and silymarin extract

With milk thistle, you will find both seed powders and extracts. To make an extract, certain substances are removed from the plant material and concentrated. A standardised extract contains a fixed, specified proportion of silymarin, for example.

These capsules contain fermented milk thistle seed. The stated amount refers to that seed powder, not a separate silymarin percentage.

This distinction helps when comparing packs. More milligrams of seed does not automatically mean more silymarin than in a smaller number of milligrams of extract. Here, you are choosing organic seed that has been fermented whole.

How does Living Nutrition make these capsules?

Preparation begins with organic milk thistle seed. Living Nutrition adds cultures from water kefir and kombucha, after which fermentation takes place in small quantities. Bacteria and yeasts convert substances in the seed during this process.

After this process, the mixture is freeze-dried. Moisture is removed from the frozen mixture, leaving a dry powder. No hot drying stage is needed.

The powder is then put into plant-based capsules.

What is in each capsule?

The ingredients are organic milk thistle seed and a plant-based capsule shell. No fillers have been added. The product contains no gluten, soya or dairy and is suitable for vegans.

No genetically modified ingredients are used in preparation.

How do you take Milk Thistle?

For adults, take one capsule twice a day with food and a glass of water. For example, with breakfast and the evening meal. This spreads the recommended amount across two occasions.

At this usage, the jar lasts 30 days. The cost is £0.86 per day, based on the current selling price.

The capsules have a neutral taste when swallowed whole. This means you do not need to mix the seed into food or drinks. This is pleasant if you prefer to leave the flavour of your meal unchanged.
