When the liver needs help

The liver is our most important metabolic organ, a veritable detoxification factory within our body. Harmful toxins are excreted via the liver, which also produces bile acids that are absolutely essential for digestion and fat breakdown. The organ is put under strain by environmental toxins or the long-term use of medication, as well as by excessive consumption of fat, alcohol and sugary foods. This can lead to chronic liver conditions, such as fatty liver or other liver problems. 

The problem is that you don’t experience pain, but instead feel listless or even exhausted. The good news is that you have the power to reverse fatty liver yourself. It is therefore important to protect the liver and support its function – ideally by making lifestyle changes and harnessing the concentrated power of milk thistle. 

Detox for the liver

As a natural detox aid for the liver, Dr Böhm® Milk Thistle contains an optimally dosed milk thistle extract with the detoxifying active ingredient complex silymarin – for supportive treatment of liver complaints, to normalise liver function tests and to aid liver detoxification. The plant-based active ingredients have multiple beneficial effects: they block toxins, thereby making it more difficult for harmful substances to penetrate the body. At the same time, they help cells that have already been damaged to recover. Dr. Böhm® Milk Thistle is particularly suitable for supporting a detox programme or as a natural form of liver protection. 

Active ingredients

Milk thistle 

Milk thistle was already known as a medicinal plant in ancient times. Since the mid-18th century, it has been used primarily for liver complaints. The fruits of the milk thistle contain a special complex of active ingredients known as silymarin. It prevents harmful substances from entering the liver and helps weakened liver cells to recover. The benefits of milk thistle in cases of toxic liver damage – e.g. caused by alcohol – or virus-related liver damage have been demonstrated by numerous studies.
