Silymarin Milk Thistle Extract is a blend of flavonolignans derived from the milk thistle plant (Silybum marianum Gaertneri), which has been utilized for medicinal purposes for nearly two millennia. Indigenous to southern Europe and North Africa, milk thistle boasts a thousands-year history of cultivation and traditional use as a folk medicinal herb in these regions. The primary component of silymarin is silibinin, existing as a 50:50 mixture of Silibin A and Silibin B; other key constituents include silydianin, silycristin, isosilybin A, isosilybin B, isosilycristin, and taxifolin.
