At proBLENopathy, we work with top formulators to create the best supplement combinations for your body. One of our favorite ingredients is Carduus Marianus, also known as Milk Thistle. We love Carduus Marianus for its ability to reduce inflammation, detoxify the liver and spleen, and provide the body with very potent antioxidants.
How Carduus Marianus / Milk Thistle Can Help:
- Stimulates the liver and gallbladder
- Aids bile flow
- Encourages bowel movement and removes attendant toxicity
- Clears the kidneys, promoting better urination
- Improves the function of the liver, thereby helping to clear skin
- Helps soften kidney stones and gallstones
- Alleviates painful menstruation and is an invaluable all-round pre-menstrual herb
Many conditions that benefit from Carduus Marianus are 'diseases of civilization', such as symptoms of a sluggish and unresponsive liver, which are frequently induced by a stressful lifestyle that puts additional pressure upon the liver by loading it with toxins. Coffee, alcohol, junk food, prescription drugs (particularly analgesics, anti-depressants and tranquilizers, which are taken as an antidote to many of these ailments but instead exacerbate them), environmental chemicals and pollutants, vegetables sprayed with pesticides, smoking, excessive quantities of red meat and fatty foods may all increase the risk of liver damage.
Eliminating these causative factors and using Carduus Marianus as a backup treatment for the liver will help restore health and protect against future damage.
