About this product

A thistle with leaves marbled white, as if someone had spilled milk across them. Legend says someone did: the plant's Latin epithet, marianum, ties it to the story of the Virgin Mary's milk falling on the leaves and leaving its pale veins behind.

Milk thistle has traveled under many names for two thousand years. Pliny wrote of it, medieval monks grew it in their cloister gardens, and folk tradition across Europe kept it close. Long before silymarin had a name, herbalists had already settled on the seed as the part worth keeping, and this is an extract of that seed, taken as a capsule.

Details

  • Plant: Milk thistle seed
  • Extract: Silymarin
  • Form: Capsules

How to use

Take one capsule with the largest meal of the day. The extract is partly fat-soluble, so a meal with some substance helps it along. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it is no substitute for medical advice, especially for anyone with an existing liver condition.

An old cloister-garden herb, kept for the long view.
