This milk thistle supplement also contains N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), Curcumin, and Choline to support the maintenance of the healthy liver function.

The liver plays a crucial role in bodily functions, digestion, and nutrient assimilation, and certain diets and lifestyles can damage the liver, so it's important to take liver supplements to cleanse the liver and maintain its health. Milk Thistle Complex liver health tablets may help to support the liver in a variety of ways through cleansing, detoxification, and protection. 

Milk thistle, also known as Silybum marianum, is a bright pink flowering plant that grows wild in southern Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East. Historically, people have used Milk Thistle to treat liver disorders and gallbladder problems.¹ It contains a bioflavonoid called Silymarin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Unlike many other milk thistle tablets, supplements, and tea, DoSe Milk Thistle capsules help support the liver with the trinity of liver cleansing herbs: Dandelion, Artichoke, and Milk Thistle. Milk Thistle has a long traditional history of liver supporting benefits. Artichoke's benefits include improving liver function & this herb may contribute to overall liver health.

N-Acetyl Cysteine, NAC, is known to have liver protectant. NAC supplements are often recommended for liver support due to their ability to remove heavy metals. 

Curcumin, and Choline, all work together to efficiently support liver detox and healthy liver function.
