{"product_id":"milk-thistle-complex","title":"Milk Thistle Complex","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dried fruit of milk thistle contains a flavonoid complex known as silymarin.  This constituent is responsible for the medical benefits of the plant.  Silymarin is made up of three parts: silibinin, silidianin, and silicristin.  Silibinin is the most active and is largely responsible for the benefits attributed to silymarin.  Silymarin is a milk thistle extract that nutritionally supports liver function.  This highly active botanical protects the liver from free radical damage, supports glutathione concentrations and promotes superoxide dismutase activity.  Milk thistle extract also stimulates protein synthesis in hepatic cells.‡\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredients in Milk Thistle Complex may protect the cells of the liver by blocking the entrance of harmful toxins and helping remove these toxins from the liver cells.  As with other bioflavonoids, silymarin is a powerful antioxidant.  Silymarin has also been shown to regenerate injured liver cells.  Recent studies have shown that silymarin has the ability to block fibrosis, a process that contributes to the eventual development of cirrhosis in people with inflammatory liver conditions secondary to diseases such as alcohol abuse or hepatitis.‡\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilk Thistle Extract is derived from the fruit of Silybum marianum and standardized to contain 80% silymarin.‡\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‡ These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.\u003cbr\u003e These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Progressive Labs","offers":[{"title":"60 Vegetable Capsules","offer_id":47344402170025,"sku":"416","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/3598\/5321\/files\/milk-thistle-complex_1_d2f97fe9-1c47-4c16-b638-a4bcd412bd39.jpg?v=1786600001","url":"https:\/\/oakwaynaturals.myshopify.com\/products\/milk-thistle-complex","provider":"oakwaynaturals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
