Silymarin Milk Thistle 300 mg: Liver Detoxification, Antioxidant Protection and Digestive Support – 80% Standardized Extract + Dandelion and Artichoke For Liver, Bile and Metabolism

Silymarin Milk Thistle 300 mg, NOW Foods (50 capsules) is a premium dietary supplement designed to support liver function, natural detoxification processes and digestive balance. The formula combines a concentrated milk thistle extract (Silybum marianum) from fruit/seeds, 300 mg, standardized to 80% silymarin flavonoids (equivalent to 240 mg silymarin), with two plants traditionally used for drainage, bile secretion and digestion: dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale) 100 mg and artichoke (Cynara scolymus) leaf 50 mg.

The liver is the body's metabolic center, involved in hundreds of essential processes: fat and carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis, vitamin storage, neutralization of potentially harmful substances and filtration of breakdown products. In the modern pace of life, the liver is frequently overloaded by diets rich in processed fats, stress, sedentary lifestyle, exposure to environmental toxins and metabolic fluctuations. Under these conditions, support with bioactive compounds that protect liver cells, support regeneration and optimize bile flow can contribute to maintaining energy, digestion and overall well-being.

Silymarin is one of the most studied botanical compounds for the liver, recognized for its antioxidant protection capacity and support of hepatocyte integrity (liver cells). It can contribute to cell membrane stabilization, limiting the penetration of harmful substances into cells and supporting repair mechanisms. In parallel, dandelion is traditionally used for drainage and supporting hepatobiliary function, and artichoke is appreciated for its role in stimulating bile secretion and supporting fat digestion, contributing to postprandial comfort.

Through 80% silymarin standardization, the product ensures a consistent supply of active principles, offering complex support for: liver protection, metabolic balance, bile and digestion, oxidative stress reduction and supporting natural detoxification processes.

Detailed Benefits of Silymarin Milk Thistle 300 mg + Dandelion + Artichoke

• Advanced Liver Protection and Supporting Liver Cell Integrity

The liver functions as a biochemical filter, being constantly exposed to compounds that must be transformed, neutralized and eliminated. In this process, liver cells can be affected by oxidative stress and reactive products resulting from metabolism. Silymarin (standardized to 240 mg silymarin flavonoids) is appreciated for its ability to support hepatocyte protection.

Silymarin can contribute to:
• stabilizing liver cell membranes
• supporting natural cellular regeneration mechanisms
• protecting liver structures against oxidative stress
• maintaining liver function in contexts of metabolic overload

This support is especially relevant for people with an intense lifestyle, unbalanced diet, periods of stress or increased exposure to environmental factors.

• Physiological Detoxification and Support for Metabolic "Cleansing"

Detoxification is not a one-time event, but a continuous process by which the body transforms fat-soluble compounds into forms easier to eliminate. The liver is essential in these stages, and maintaining its efficiency supports the general state of vitality and clarity.

The NOW Foods formula supports detoxification through:
✅ silymarin – protection and support for liver function
✅ dandelion – drainage and traditional support for elimination
✅ artichoke – support for bile and fat digestion, facilitating physiological elimination

Through this approach, the supplement can be associated with a feeling of digestive "relief" and more stable metabolic support, especially during periods when the body is stressed.

• Powerful Antioxidant and Systemic Oxidative Stress Reduction

Oxidative stress occurs when free radicals exceed the body's antioxidant capacity, affecting lipids, proteins and DNA. The liver is particularly exposed because it manages many oxidative reactions. Silymarin is known for its antioxidant properties, contributing to free radical neutralization and maintaining cellular health.

Benefits may include:
• protecting membrane lipids against peroxidation
• supporting endogenous antioxidant enzymes
• limiting oxidative degradation in liver tissues
• support for a more balanced inflammatory response

This antioxidant protection has an impact not only on the liver, but also on general metabolic balance.

• Supporting Bile Secretion and Efficient Fat Digestion

Bile is essential for the digestion and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). When bile flow is slow or insufficient, sensations of bloating, heaviness after meals or discomfort after fatty foods may appear.

Artichoke (leaf) is appreciated for:
✅ stimulating bile secretion and supporting bile flow
✅ improving fat digestion
✅ reducing the sensation of postprandial discomfort
✅ supporting efficient absorption of fat-soluble nutrients

In the present formula, artichoke excellently complements milk thistle, offering a functional digestive dimension, not just hepatoprotective.

• Support for Lipid Metabolism and Cholesterol Balance

The liver regulates the synthesis and metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides. Therefore, a properly supported liver indirectly contributes to a more balanced lipid profile. Artichoke is frequently associated with support for lipid metabolism, and silymarin supports hepatocellular function, where key processes take place.

The formula can contribute to:
• efficient metabolism of dietary fats
• maintaining a healthy lipid balance
• supporting liver functions involved in lipid control
• optimizing metabolic response to diet

This benefit is important in the context of modern diets, rich in processed fats and refined carbohydrates.

• Drainage, Elimination and Abdominal Comfort Through Dandelion Root

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is one of the most widely used plants in traditional herbal medicine for drainage and supporting elimination organs. Its root is associated with support for hepatobiliary function and digestive comfort, being especially appreciated during periods of heavy eating or imbalance.

Dandelion can contribute to:
✅ supporting physiological drainage and elimination
✅ reducing the sensation of "bloating" associated with slow digestion
✅ support for abdominal comfort and more balanced transit
✅ supporting the liver in metabolic filtration processes

In this formula, dandelion offers a complementary action that supports "flow" and elimination function, alongside the liver protection offered by silymarin.

• Supporting Liver Regeneration and Resilience to Metabolic Stress

The liver has a remarkable capacity for regeneration, but this process depends on antioxidant status, inflammatory balance and the quality of available nutrients. Silymarin is associated with supporting liver regeneration through cell membrane protection and supporting repair processes.

This support is relevant in contexts such as:
• diet rich in fats or sugar
• periods of stress and chronic fatigue
• exposure to environmental toxins (pollution, chemical substances)
• sedentary lifestyle, with increased metabolic load

Through the plant combination, the product supports liver resilience and maintaining a "cleaner" metabolism, with an impact on energy, digestion and general condition.

• Vitality and General Well-being Through Complete Liver Support

When the liver functions efficiently, the body manages nutrients, energy and elimination processes better. Therefore, a well-formulated liver support can be associated with:
✅ more comfortable digestion
✅ more stable energy (through optimal metabolism)
✅ reducing the sensation of heaviness after meals
✅ better internal balance, with impact on general condition

Silymarin Milk Thistle 300 mg, NOW Foods offers a complete profile for liver and digestion: standardized silymarin for protection and regeneration, dandelion for drainage and comfort, artichoke for bile and fat metabolism – a coherent formula for long-term metabolic and liver support.
