Milk Thistle, silymarin, acts largely on the liver and kidneys.

It is a well known protection against hepatotoxins. It has a long history of successful use in treating:

• liver detoxification
• blood and immunomodulation
• lipid and biliary effects
• cirrhosis (but not in decompensated cirrhosis)
• hepatitis

It has been used for Amanita mushroom poisoning.

Milk thistle’s most important therapeutic efficacies are: cell regeneration, antioxidant and hepatoprotection against a vast array of toxins.

Works better than 80% standardized silymarin products, usually corrects liver enzyme imbalances, protects the liver from harsh drugs, protects the liver when the animal is exposed to toxic chemicals and it is easy to administer.

Further it boosts milk production and is a very effective cure for jaundice. It is a

preventative treatment for glaucoma and cloudy eyes as in aging dogs (i.e. lenticular sclerosis).

1 gram orally per 100 weight daily for carnivores is recommended. It tastes grainy and can be sprinkled on or mixed with food.

It is regarded as nontoxic (GRAS) with only occasional GI distress and allergic reaction.
