Protector of the liver
The milk thistle is native to the Mediterranean region but is grown worldwide. Its fruit is used for medicinal purposes.
How does it help?
The largest gland in the human body is one and a half pounds of liver. Everything that gets into the gastrointestinal tract, be it food, drink, chemicals or medicine, passes through it. As a central laboratory, the liver scans, breaks down the substances that enter the body, incorporates the recoverable and filters out the harmful ones. St. John's wort helps the liver function.
The liver performs about five hundred functions, the two most important of which are: it cleanses the blood of metabolic waste products and treats hormones, drugs, and alcohol in a similar way. It converts food into energy and stores it in the form of glycogen, and then, in the event of physical exertion, delivers glycogen to the muscles in the form of glucose.
We force our liver to perform beyond its capabilities on a daily basis when we drink alcohol, eat heavy, spicy, fatty foods, or quench our hunger with plastic foods that we buy in fast-food chains and as pre-made ready-to-eat foods in hypermarkets. This is why it is very important that we try to protect our liver in some way and help it regenerate after a lot of exercise.
The milk thistle that forms the basis of the production of silymarin is a worldwide plant from the Mediterranean region, the fruit of which has been used for more than 2,000 years to treat various liver and bile diseases. The name or folk name of the plant (Blessed Virgin's Milk) can be traced back to the legend that the white marbling and white milkiness of the leaves came about when the milk of Jesus' mother, Mary, splashed on the plant. It is probably due to this belief that it has also been widely used to enhance milk secretion. In folk medicine, it has also been used to treat amenorrhea, constipation, diabetes, hay fever and varicose veins.
It protects our liver and helps it to regenerate after a lot of harmful stress, so its consumption is very beneficial.

The use of the plant declined at the beginning of the last century, rediscovered around the middle of the 20th century, when pharmacological studies with a chemically identified active ingredient complex (silymarin) found an explanation for the plant's ability to relieve bile and liver complaints.
