The active ingredient in thistle is silymarin, which helps regenerate damaged liver cells and large sections of tissue by activating protein synthesis in liver cells by increasing the activity of genetic material (DNA-RNA). It also protects liver cells, preventing toxins from entering them and neutralizing toxins that have already entered. Silymarin is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent the depletion of glutathione in liver cells. Glutathione is responsible for detoxification from a wide range of drugs, chemicals and hormones. Thistle is preferred for the treatment of psoriasis, due to its ability to suppress the synthesis of leukotrienes which have the ability to cause inflammation.

According to many blind, controlled trials and clinical trials, thistle significantly helps reduce organic alcohol damage, while its long-term use appears to increase life expectancy in patients with liver damage. It also favorably changes the levels of liver enzymes (transaminases) in patients with cirrhosis, viral hepatitis and fatty infiltration, improves the symptoms of toxic damage to organs (nausea, weakness, loss of appetite, fatigue), fatigue and chemical drugs. In addition, it increases the flow of gastric fluids that relieve indigestion and headaches associated with congestion of detoxification organs.
