Milk thistle flour

Milk thistle flakes are the part of milk thistle seeds that remains after the oil is pressed. Grinding milk thistle flakes produces milk thistle flour. Milk thistle flour contains about 30% milk thistle oil. Milk thistle flour has a moderately bitter taste.

One of the active ingredients in milk thistle seeds responsible for improving liver function is the flavonoid complex silymarin. Silymarin works

• It increases glutathione peroxidase (a powerful antioxidant in the body). Glutathione is responsible for the detoxification of hormones, medications, toxins, and other chemical compounds.
  
• Stimulates protein synthesis in the liver, which results in increased liver cell regeneration – the liver is able to regenerate faster and more efficiently.
  
• It limits the synthesis of leukotrienes (inflammatory substances).
