Why Liver Support Is More Important than Ever
Clinical studies have shown that milk thistle supports liver function by helping to protect it from naturally generated body toxins.†
Detoxification is just one of the 500 functions that the liver must perform, 24/7. The liver is like the body’s waste treatment plant. It breaks down unwanted substances (preservatives, food additives and alcohol, for example) or unneeded substances (such as old red blood cells) and detoxifies them for removal from the body or recycles them into something the body needs.
When we demand too much from our liver, it can become overloaded and not function as well. Milk thistle has long been recognized as a plant that has beneficial, liver-supporting properties. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the United States National Library of Medicine have catalogued over 400 scientific studies of milk thistle extract and its active constituents.
Choosing trunature® Premium Milk Thistle
trunature® Premium Milk Thistle, featuring high-absorption Siliphos®, offers powerful support for liver health. Our formula provides 160 mg of milk thistle extract, delivering 52 mg of silybin.
Silybin is the key active component of milk thistle, however regular silybin is poorly absorbed and easily destroyed when it enters the stomach. Research has shown that the absorption of silybin is the key to unlocking the health benefits of milk thistle.
trunature Premium Milk Thistle contains high-absorption Siliphos, made to withstand the harsh environment of the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical research shows it has 4.6 times higher bioavailability compared to a milk thistle extract containing silybin.
Advanced Milk Thistle Delivery Allows for Once-Daily Amounts
trunature Premium Milk Thistle contains high-absorption Siliphos made using a unique delivery system (phytosome) that formulates silybin with natural phospholipids – a key component of cell membranes. Phytosomes are fat-compatible, and because of this, they are more easily absorbed by the digestive tract, and from there to cells and ultimately the blood.2
Because of Siliphos’s increased absorption compared to other milk thistle extracts, lower amounts are needed resulting in a one-per-day formula.†1
