125mg Liposomal Milk Thistle per Serving - Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Coconut Caramel Nut Flavour

Liposomal Delivery System

Bio-friendly phospholipid bilayers envelop the milk thistle extract in a protective bubble, shielding it from digestive breakdown in transit and supporting rapid, sustained cellular uptake.

A Real Authorized Liver-Function Claim

Licensed under NPN 80120059 - Milk Thistle is used in Herbal Medicine to help support liver function.

What CanPrev Liposomal Milk Thistle Supports

Milk thistle's silymarin is one of the most studied plant extracts for liver health - but plain silymarin is notoriously poorly absorbed. Here is what liposomal delivery is formulated to address, and what the wider research on silymarin explores.

Liver Function Support

Used in Herbal Medicine to help support liver function - the focus of most of the published research on milk thistle's active compound, silymarin.

Antioxidant Mechanism

Silymarin is studied for its free-radical-scavenging and cell-membrane-stabilizing properties in liver tissue.

Enhanced Liposomal Absorption

The liposomal liquid format is designed to improve on the poor natural bioavailability of plain milk thistle extract, in a smooth coconut caramel nut flavoured liquid with no capsules.

Easy Daily Liquid Dose

One teaspoon, twice daily, taken directly or mixed with water - no capsules to swallow.

Silymarin and Fatty Liver (NAFLD/NASH)

Improved liver enzymes and histology in a phytosome RCT

In a 12-month randomized controlled trial of 179 patients with biopsy-confirmed NAFLD, a silybin-phosphatidylcholine-vitamin E complex significantly improved liver enzyme levels, insulin resistance (HOMA) and liver histology compared with placebo.

Cirrhosis and Chronic Liver Disease - Mixed Evidence

Improved 4-year survival in one randomized trial

In a double-blind, randomized trial of 170 patients with cirrhosis, silymarin 140 mg three times daily was linked to a higher 4-year survival rate than placebo (58% vs 39%), with the strongest effect in alcoholic cirrhosis and less-advanced (Child A) disease.

Human RCT
Ferenci et al., Journal of Hepatology (1989)
Cirrhosis and Chronic Liver Disease - Mixed Evidence

A larger trial found no survival benefit

A separate double-blind, randomized, multicenter trial of 200 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis found that silymarin 450 mg/day had no significant effect on survival or clinical course compared with placebo - a reminder that results vary by study.

Human RCT

Mechanisms of Hepatoprotection

A foundational biochemical mechanism review

A classic biochemical review describes silymarin and silibinin acting as antioxidants and free-radical scavengers, stabilizers of hepatocyte cell membranes, and stimulators of ribosomal RNA synthesis to support liver-cell protein production.

Review
Valenzuela & Garrido, Biological Research (1994)
Mechanisms of Hepatoprotection

Four proposed protective mechanisms

A pharmacology review describes silymarin acting through four main mechanisms: antioxidant/glutathione regulation, hepatocyte membrane stabilization limiting toxin entry, stimulation of liver-cell regeneration, and inhibition of the fibrosis-driving transformation of stellate cells.

Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms

High-dose silymarin did not help in one hepatitis C trial

In the SyNCH trial - a randomized, placebo-controlled study of 154 patients with chronic hepatitis C who had not responded to interferon therapy - silymarin at up to 700 mg three times daily had no significant effect on liver enzymes or hepatitis C viral load versus placebo, underscoring that benefits seen for one liver condition don't automatically transfer to another.

Drug- and Toxin-Induced Liver Injury

Faster symptom resolution in acute hepatitis

A randomized controlled trial of 105 patients with acute viral hepatitis found silymarin was associated with minimally faster resolution of dark urine and jaundice compared with placebo, with no serious adverse events.

Human RCT
El-Kamary et al., Phytomedicine (2009)
Drug- and Toxin-Induced Liver Injury

A classic review of the antioxidant basis for hepatoprotection

An early review of milk thistle for liver disease describes silymarin's hepatoprotective activity as resting on its antioxidant, free-radical-scavenging and lipid-peroxidation-inhibiting properties, while noting that human trial evidence at the time was mixed.

Yes, it's vegan, non-GMO and gluten-free. It does contain nuts (macadamia nut oil is part of the liposomal base) - always check the label if you have a nut allergy.

Who should use caution, or not use it?

Consult a health care practitioner before use, especially if you are pregnant, or if symptoms persist or worsen. Stop use if hypersensitivity occurs. Keep out of reach of children and do not use if the safety seal is broken.
