Description

Milk Thistle is a flower of the Astor family that contains silymarin, a powerful combination of naturally occurring substances that help support digestive health and a strong immune system.

1. Milk thistle is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants protect us from free radicals. Exposure to environmental toxins can increase free radicals in the body, which can do a lot of damage to our cells. This is called oxidation and can eventually lead to cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Milk thistle helps prevent this oxidation.
2. While helpful in some cases, over the counter drugs and prescription medication can hurt the liver if taken in large doses and/or for long periods of time. Researchers have found that milk thistle can prevent or reduce medication induced liver damage. If you have been giving your pet medication, milk thistle will help protect their liver.
3. If for any reason the liver has been weakened, it is unable to do its job. To combat allergens, the body produces histamine. The liver plays a role in this process; it removes the histamine from the body. If the liver is weakened and congested with toxins, the liver struggles and histamine builds up in the body, leading to more allergic reactions.
