What Is Milk Thistle?
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a purple-flowering plant characterised by its distinctive spiny leaves. The seeds of the plant are commonly used in botanical and food supplement preparations.
Milk thistle contains a naturally occurring group of plant compounds commonly referred to collectively as silymarin. Concentrated milk thistle extracts provide a convenient alternative to consuming the whole herb.
Puritan's Pride uses milk thistle seed in this formula as a 4:1 extract, allowing a relatively small amount of concentrated extract to represent a larger equivalent quantity of the original botanical material.
