The primary use of Milk Thistle is to protect liver cells from damage. It is excellent to take before and after consuming rich greasy foods, drugs, alcohol, coffee and exposure to toxins - great for hangover prevention! It is also used for jaundice, liver problems, cirrhosis and all gall-bladder issues. Milk Thistle is also used (as the name indicates) to promote breastmilk production, and is considered safe for nursing mothers.
Please note: The 250g size does not come in a home compostable bag.

Recipes featuring Milk Thistle (St Mary’s Thistle)
This is so soothing. I feel very calmed and supported by this herb. It’s made processing life so much smoother.
Very happy with the product and the service.
Thank you so much Jason! Glad to hear you are enjoying your Milk Thistle.
It's earned the moniker of 'Magic Powder' in my household and for very good reason: it's made a significant difference in the quality of life for my sweet, geriatric feathered companion.
She loves this stuff. She's gluttonous when I add it to her meals, which is a relief since it saves me from stressing her to give her the old liver medication her vet had previously prescribed. Her mobility has improved greatly and she's gone from being very subdued/tired to playing nonstop like she used to.
It's honestly awesome. I'm so glad my veterinarian suggested this milk thistle product as well as Happy Herb.
