What is Milk thistle

Milk thistle – also known by its Latin name Silybum marianum – is a herbal product traditionally used to relieve symptoms associated with occasional over indulgence of food and drink, such as indigestion and upset stomach.

Silymarin, an antioxidant, is the main active ingredient in milk thistle. It is extracted from the seeds of the plant, which is native to Southern Europe, Russia, Asia Minor and North Africa.

Milk thistle is one of the eight most popular herbal ingredients in the UK.
