Milk Thistle Seed : milk thistle with a high silymarin content
The milk thistle is a one to two year old plant. The plant grows to a height of 60 to 150 centimetres. It has a woolly hairy stem and leaves with white spots. These white spots are responsible for the name milk thistle. Legend has it that these white spots were caused by the milk of the Virgin Mary. The milk thistle originally comes from Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The plant also grows in gardens in the Netherlands and sometimes even in the wild.
The most important active substance in milk thistle is silymarin. Many herbal preparations are therefore standardised for this substance. A striking feature of Milk Thistle Seed from Gaia Herbs is the high content of silymarin in the end product. This is an important quality feature. Incidentally, silymarin is not one substance, but a collective name for a group of substances that chemically fall under the (fat-soluble) flavolignans. The most important substances in this group are silybin, isosilybin, silicristin and silydianine). Milk thistle also contains flavonoids, phenol derivatives, betaine (trimethylglycine) and phytosterols.
