Evidence Summary

Milk thistle seed is a flowering plant whose seeds contain a group of antioxidant compounds called silymarin (including silybin and related flavonoids). It is traditionally used to support liver health and has shown antioxidant activity in lab and animal studies. One human trial found that a multi-herb blend containing 500 mg of milk thistle seed improved cholesterol and blood sugar markers in diabetic patients on statins, though milk thistle was not tested alone.
