Milk thistle is used to treat liver diseases and in managing urinary disorders. It is known to be anti-inflammatory and as a supportive treatment for death cap mushroom poisoning. According to a study1, Silibinin, a compound extracted from the seeds of Milk Thistle, is a potent AntiViral Agent in patients with Chronic Hepatitis C not responding to the usual Interferon therapy. Furthermore, there is clear evidence for its use as a supportive element in alcoholic and child grade ‘A liver cirrhosis2. In 2011, the European Commission granted the Orphan Medicinal Product Designation to silibinin-c2’3-dihydrogensuccinate disodium salt synthesized from milk thistle extract to prevent the recurrence of hepatitis C in liver transplant recipients3.
