How it works: 
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) also known as St. Mary's Thistle, has a traditional use in protecting the liver where its hepatoprotective properties due to its content of silymarin, a mixture of flavolignan compounds comprising silybin, silydianin, and silychristin. The herb also contains bitter principles, which are responsible for its action as a digestive tonic and amines including tyramine and histamine and polyacetylenes.  
 
Milk Thistle is useful for the treatment of liver problems and the flavolignans in Silybum marianum have been the subject of considerable research since the 1970's since the flavolignans have been found to increase protein synthesis in the liver cells (hepatocytes). According to some reports, the overall effect of Silybum is to help the liver regenerate four times faster than normal.  
 
Milk Thistle also acts as a galactogogue and increases the production of milk in breastfeeding mothers, hence the name.  
 
Astragalus membranaceus acts as a tonic to protect the immune system. It also aids adrenal gland function and digestion. Astragalus increases metabolism, and promotes healing, it helps provide energy to combat fatigue and increases stamina. It has been used successfully for the treatment of colds and flu and immune deficiency related problems and for chronic lung weakness.
