Milk thistle has been promoted as a dietary supplement for hepatitis, cirrhosis, jaundice, diabetes, and indigestion—to protect the liver from environmental toxins, said Pharmacy Today.

The health site added: “With hundreds of years of history as treatment for a wide range of liver disorders and gallbladder problems, milk thistle has become increasingly popular as a support for healthy liver function.

“Milk thistle’s antioxidant benefits result from its ability to inhibit free radicals derived from the metabolism of toxic substances.

“In addition to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, milk thistle may also serve as an antifibrotic agent.”
