Introduction: Ancient Liver Remedy, Modern Scientific Validation

For over 2,000 years, milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been revered as a premier liver-supporting herb. Today, modern extraction technologies have transformed this traditional remedy into a potent, standardized extract with scientifically validated benefits that extend far beyond hepatic health.

At Hunan MT Health, we specialize in producing high-purity milk thistle extract standardized for silymarin content – the complex of flavonolignans responsible for its remarkable therapeutic properties. But what exactly is this powerful extract good for in today’s health product formulations?

The Science Behind Milk Thistle: Understanding Silymarin

Milk thistle’s benefits primarily come from silymarin, a unique complex containing several active compounds:

• Silybin (silibinin): The most biologically active component (50-70% of silymarin)

• Silychristin

• Silydianin

• Isosilybin

Our extraction process ensures optimal preservation of these delicate compounds, delivering a standardized extract with guaranteed silymarin content ranging from 30% to 80%, depending on your formulation needs.
