Bio-Nature (formerly Kordels) Milk Thistle Plus contains a trio of traditional herbs including milk thistle to help support liver cleansing.
Silymarin, the key active compound has been shown to increase glutathione production in the liver thus increasing its detoxification capabilities. Silymarin also stimulates protein synthesis in the liver encouraging the growth of healthy liver cells. In addition, bile activity is stimulated with the ingestion of milk thistle, an attribute that is both supportive to the liver and to the gall bladder.
Directions: As a food supplement, adults take one milk thistle capsule daily. Do not exceed the daily dose. You should be careful not to take more than 1200mg per day, as this can cause toxic effects.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of young children. Please seek professional advice before taking this supplement if you are pregnant or likely to become pregnant, and/or if you are on prescribed medication. Food supplements are not to be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the daily dose. It should also be noted that taking milk thistle should be avoided by those who have allergies in the same plant family, such as chrysanthemum, daisy, marigold, and ragweed. Milk thistle supplementation should be used with caution, as any supplement should. If you have a liver problem, consult your doctor before adding any new herbal remedy to your prescribed medication.

- diarrhoea
