How It Works:
Milk thistle helps protect the liver from the toxins it collects and breaks down. It contains a constituent called silymarin, which has been the subject of numerous liver health studies. Silymarin helps the liver produce cells and helps stabilize liver cell membranes. It actually changes the structure of the outer liver cell membrane, preventing toxins and poisons from entering the cell. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) optimizes the production of glutathione in the liver. NAC is also a powerful antioxidant that helps support the health of the eyes, support nerve integrity, and protect against oxidative damage. Glutathione is used in the breakdown and elimination of toxins in the body.
