The seeds of Milk Thistle have been used for thousands of years to support liver and digestive health, to balance the hormones, and increase milk in lactating mothers. The marianum in the latin name refers to a legend that the white spots on the leaves of this species came from the milk of the Virgin Mary, nursing her child whilst fleeing to Egypt. Don’t worry men.. this will not cause you to lactate, however it may help to prevent prostate cancer.
The most active component in milk thistle seeds is silymarin, a flavonoid, antioxidant compound, composed of four flavonolignans, (silychristin, silydianin, silibinin, and taxifolin.) Silymarin is one of the most widely studied compounds for liver detoxification and protection. It’s flavonolignan, silibinin, is the only know substance to combat poisoning from the death cap mushroom, Amanita phalloides (from which the death rate is 25 % in adults & 50% in children & accounts for 90 % of mushroom deaths worldwide!) Silibinin protects the liver by blocking absorption of the mushrooms amanitins, powerful amatoxins that inhibit RNA polymerase II resulting in deficient protein synthesis and cell necrosis. Silibinin also seems to protect from the free radicals produced as the liver metabolizes toxins, which may prevent liver and other types of cancer. When used to treat amanita poisoning, it’s important to note, serious rehydration is also necessary, through IV or other avenues.
Milk thistle has been used as a remedy for poisonous snake bites, alcoholism, hepatitis, gallbladder disorders, indigestion, high blood pressure, migraine headaches and Alzheimer’s. Its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties may be responsible for its neuroprotective effect and ability to remove amyloid plaques from the brain, which are a main contributing factor in Alzheimer’s disease. It’s also been shown, in animal studies to stimulate bone mineralization, which may prevent osteoporosis. It can also lower blood sugar in diabetics, and therefore may be contraindicated for anyone with already low blood sugar. Silybum marianum also stimulates healthy bile production in the liver, and healthy bile flow to the gallbladder and to the intestines, which could contribute to a healthier digestive system.
