MILK THISTLE PLUS 250 MG 60 CAPS FLORA

The liver is our largest internal, and most metabolically complex, organ - it performs over 500 different functions, including fighting off infection, neutralizing toxins, and controlling blood sugar, among others. Unfortunately, these key functions can be jeopardized by a variety of stressors, from viruses to poor nutrition. In herbal medicine, milk thistle has long been used to battle back and promote a healthy liver. Flora's Milk Thistle Plus is a synergistic combination of standardized extracts of milk thistle and artichoke leaf, as well as dandelion root. This unique blend works to support the liver and large intestine. Additionally, the powerful antioxidant Silymarin, an active ingredient in milk thistle, is used as a liver protectant and to support liver function. Safe for long-term use.
