Description

Milk thistle has been used for over 2,000 years as a natural remedy for liver and gallbladder disorders. Its active compound complex, silymarin, has been extensively studied for hepatoprotective effects. It is one of the few herbs with strong clinical evidence for liver support and protection.

Psyllium is a soluble fiber derived from the seeds of Plantago ovata, a plant native to India. It is one of the most well-studied and widely used fiber supplements worldwide. The FDA has approved a health claim linking psyllium consumption to reduced risk of coronary heart disease.
