History
Milk Thistle seeds are a natural source of silymarin, a bioactive plant compound that helps support a healthy liver. The word Greek word “Silybum” (meaning “tassel” or “tuft”) was mentioned as a ‘thistle-like medicinal plant’ in physician and botanist Pedanius Dioscorides’ book De Materia Medica in the first century AD (the name referenced the tassel-like flowers and white spots on its leaves). Legend has it, the white spots came from the milk of the Virgin Mary while she was nursing her child and fleeing to Egypt.
