What Else You Need to Know: Protect your organs, visibly diminish dark under-eye circles, and cleanse your system with this supportive supplement. Milk thistle (containing potent and powerful silymarin), dandelion root, and artichoke leaf combine for a full-on liver detox—perfect for the party animal in all of us*.
Silymarin, the active compound in milk thistle, may contribute to the liver’s antioxidant defense by enhancing glutathione. Milk thistle has been clinically shown to help regenerate liver cells and support detox mechanisms. Research has also looked into silymarin as a potent antioxidant—a compound that blocks the action of cell-damaging free radicals.
A clinical study found that humans who consumed dandelion extract over a 24-hour period produced significantly more urine than they had in each of the previous two days. Some preliminary research suggests that dandelion may help support liver and gallbladder function.
Limited trials found artichoke-leaf extract to have a modest positive effect on cholesterol levels. Antioxidant, bile-enhancing, and lipid-lowering effects have been demonstrated as well, which corresponds with the historical use of the plant.
