Support the body’s natural detoxification process with our advanced liver health supplement, which delivers milk thistle compounds to support liver function, plus phospholipids for absorption.

What Is Advanced Milk Thistle?

Liver health formulas made with milk thistle have been in use for centuries. Milk thistle extract contains phytonutrients that fight oxidative stress and support liver health. Combining silybin with phosphatidylcholine and other phospholipids enhances the absorption of milk thistle's active compounds, providing powerful liver health support.

Show your liver some love! Advanced Milk Thistle is our ultimate liver health & detoxification support formula.

Advanced Milk Thistle Benefits

• Promotes liver health & function
• Supports the body’s natural detoxification process
• Provides multiple milk thistle compounds
• Fights oxidative stress
• Enhanced with phospholipids to promote absorption

 Enhanced absorption formula

Silybin can be difficult for the body to absorb. Our Advanced Milk Thistle formula uses a phytosome to enhance silybin’s bioavailability. A phytosome is a tiny sphere made of phospholipids from plants. This innovative technique results in up to 3x greater bioavailability compared to unformulated milk thistle extract.

Healthy liver, healthy body

Modern living creates a heavy load on the liver, making it critical to proactively maintain liver health. That’s where liver-friendly herbs such as milk thistle come in.^1,2

Milk thistle extract is called silymarin. This extract is a mixture of flavonolignans with powerful antioxidant activity that promotes healthy liver function.^3-5 But advanced extraction technology allows us to isolate individual constituents within the silymarin extract itself, to create a high-quality milk thistle extract.

Other compounds in our milk thistle extract

Silibinin (also called silybin) is the most active and abundant flavonolignan found in milk thistle extract. Made up of silybins A and B, it has protective effects on the liver.^6,7 Other compounds found in milk thistle extracts, such as isosilybin A and B, contribute to milk thistle’s health benefits as well.

Phospholipids enhance delivery

Silybin can be difficult for the body to absorb. Scientists have enhanced silybin’s bioavailability by integrating it into a phytosome. A phytosome is a tiny sphere made out of plant-derived phosphatidylcholine.

Clinical evidence showed that this silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex resulted in up to 3 times greater bioavailability compared to unformulated milk thistle extract.⁸
