Extensive Research on Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle’s active medicinal ingredient, an antioxidant known as silymarin, resides in the shell of the Milk Thistle seed and is responsible for its protective and regenerative effects on the liver.  Clinical results are impressive and have shown that Milk Thistle can help the liver to regenerate at four times its normal rate!  Because it is rich in antioxidants, Milk Thistle may also prevent toxins from causing oxidative damage to the liver, thought to be one of the main causes of chronic liver disease.

Milk Thistle’s Effect on the Liver

How does Milk Thistle have such miraculous effects on this key organ?  It is thought that Milk Thistle works by protecting specialized immune cells in the liver that scoop up and destroy bacteria, toxins and other foreign matter.  By protecting these cells, Milk Thistle helps keep the liver healthy and up to the task of clearing toxins from our bodies.

Other Health Benefits of Milk Thistle – digestion, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, hormone balance

Such promising health benefits for the liver have led researchers to study Milk Thistle for other positive activities in the body.  They have found it to be helpful in regulating the digestion of fats, stabilizing blood sugar and cholesterol levels, reducing inflammation in the digestive tract and promoting the excretion of excess hormones.  Using Milk Thistle may just help you to feel better all over!  But, please be patient with Milk Thistle – it must be used for a minimum of three weeks before you experience its beneficial effects. 

So, start your tune-up now.  Support your liver with the marvelous regenerating power of milk thistle.  Your liver will love it!

Orange Naturals Tincture Advantages

All Orange Naturals tinctures are made from organic or wild-crafted herbs.  During our craft of tincture-making, our master herbalists ensure the magic of every herb is unleashed and each bottle bursts with the healing power of nature.  Our naturopaths recommend herbal tinctures because they are metabolized quickly – rapid oral absorption allows the body to begin restoring health on every level. The body can absorb up to 98% of a tincture’s medicinal components because absorption takes place immediately in the mouth. In contrast, herbs taken in capsule or tablet form must first be broken down by the digestive system and thus absorption can be significantly lower and slower. With Orange Naturals herbal tinctures, you have found a medicinal version of liquid gold.  

Adults 18 and over: take 5 ml of Orange Naturals Milk Thistle, 3 times per day. To dispense, fill the dropper half way, which gives you 1 ml. Repeat 4 more times to get 5 ml. 

For best absorption, squirt the tincture under your tongue and hold it there for a few seconds, then swallow. If you want to remove the alcohol, add the dosage to a half cup of boiled water. The alcohol will evaporate off. Let it cool, and add honey or a splash of juice to make a yummy, liver-loving drink!

You need to take milk thistle for a minimum of 3 weeks to see beneficial effects. For best results, take milk thistle on an empty stomach, which means about 15 minutes before a meal or snack, or at least 1 hour after.
