    Milk Thistle-A Super Booster for Bodybuilding and Healthy Liver

    Since the evolution of mankind, humans are experimenting, examining and bringing to use as many as extracts and nutrients which are naturally grown by the plants as well as animals. Time and ages have now proven that natural enzymes work better and longer than any of their synthetic substitutes.

    Milk Thistle, a plant commonly found in Mediterranean region is known for its ability to heal and prevent various liver diseases and cholesterol levels. The plant is now grown worldwide for its therapeutic uses. The plant is also known by the names Scotch Thistle, Mediterranean Milk Thistle, Blessed Milk Thistle, Mary Thistle.



    What is Milk Thistle and what makes it the source of rich nutrients?

    Milk Thistle plant grows in a conical shape with wide shoot at the bottom and a tapering shoot bearing purple flower/fruit. The leaves represent milky white veins and the name milk due to a white fluid that oozes out when the leaves are plucked. Milk Thistle or Silybum Marianum (scientific name) is a powerhouse of vital enzymes which are used to manufacture antioxidant supplements. These supplements are produced as Liver care tablets and Liver capsules. The main enzymes in milk thistle include Silymarin, a flavonoid complex containing silybin, silydianin, and silychrisin.

    Constituents of Milk Thistle

    The major ingredient extracted from Milk thistle is Silymarin. From Silymarin, we derive silybin, silydianin, and silychrisin. These enzymes when consumed boost the ability of the body to naturally remove all toxins from it. Liver, the second largest organ after skin stores most of the toxins and free radicals which enter our bodies through pollution, alcoholism, and sedentary lifestyles. These toxins cause damage to the liver and prevent it from functioning properly.



    Uses of Milk Thistle

    There are various uses of milk thistle extracts but it is widely used by the bodybuilders to keep the liver healthy to boost the muscle growth and strength. There are a variety of liver care milk thistle tablets and liver care capsules available in the market. These are mostly used by the bodybuilders as they lose essential nutrients during heavy workouts that may lead to a weaker liver health. Thus, milk thistle helps replenish the liver cells and promotes liver detox to remove free radicals and toxins.

    As Silymarin found in milk thistle keeps the liver healthy, it ensures clean blood circulation which results in healthy cells in the entire body. These cells boost the organ functions resulting glowing skin, low cholesterol levels, and healthy brain.

    Benefits

    The most notable benefits reported by users across the globe is that it boosts the stamina of bodybuilders by maintaining liver support and supply of vital antioxidants which are not produced by the human body naturally. Women commonly consume milk thistle to balance blood circulation and eliminate weakness. However; many pediatricians also suggest the use of milk thistle Silymarin to kids having weak livers or poor digestion but is still a debatable topic.



    Side Effects

    There are no known side effects of Silymarin or any other enzyme of milk thistle, but results may vary from person to person. The only adverse effects noted are due to allergic reactions to one or more enzymes found in Milk Thistle. Thus, it is advised to consume Silymarin milk thistle under certified supervision.
