QUALITY is our first priority! With us you can be sure that you are buying purely ground thistle seeds without any added substances or unwanted mould and impurities. We also take special care in its processing. That is why we process it gently so that the crushing temperature does not reach 40°C and the seeds do not come into contact with metal. After crushing, the thistle is packed in resealable bags so that it does not come into contact with air (and therefore does not oxidize) and thus preserves its freshness and, above all, ensures the maximum content of the active ingredient Silymarin!

A biennial herb, sprouting a clump of spiny leaves with distinctive white veins in spring. In late June, purple-red inflorescences emerge on about 1 m long stems. In late summer, the flowers develop into fruits, which are then harvested. Milk thistle can help the liver function properly. The name is related to an old legend that the white spots on the petals were formed from the milk of the Virgin Mary.

Because of its appearance, milk thistle is also grown as an ornamental plant.

Milk thistle is an ancient herb, formerly also known as 'Christ's crown' because of its thorns. Although it is native to the Mediterranean, it can also be grown in our conditions. It was used in ancient times as a traditional remedy, among other things, after snake bites. In the 17th century, people already knew its positive effects on the liver, blood pressure, abdominal disorders and it was also used as a remedy for melancholy and depression.

The medicinal effects with which milk thistle is associated today are mainly related to liver disease. It protects this important organ from undesirable substances commonly found in food, drink or air. It can help, for example, in the treatment of inflammation and cirrhosis of the liver, but also as a prevention of gallstones. It may also alleviate the effects of liver damage caused by long-term excessive alcohol consumption. Milk thistle is also used to regenerate liver cells and blood vessels, for varicose veins, diseases of the gallbladder, spleen and duodenum, colic, jaundice and as a decoction in the treatment of haemorrhoids. It is also recommended as a dietary supplement in weight reduction for its detoxifying effects.

Milk thistle may also help against drug, food or mushroom poisoning, circulatory disorders, low blood pressure, asthma, allergies, migraine and dizziness or travel sickness.

The main active ingredient contained in this miracle herb is the liver tissue restoring silymarin. Silymarin has such powerful effects that it is used also for regeneration of damaged liver in drug addicts, alcoholics, for people after poisoning (e.g. by mushrooms or drugs), after chemotherapy, for severely obese or suffering from cirrhosis of the liver.

The liver has an indispensable function in the body of processing nutrients and is a key organ for metabolism. It also helps in detoxification of the body and biotransformation, synthesis of plasma proteins and serves as a reservoir of vitamins, iron, glycogen and other substances. As they also have many other important functions, in case of their failure, metabolic disorders, blood clotting and in acute cases liver failure can be fatal.
