Solutions Milk Thistle Herbal Supplement for Cats and Dogs, 4oz Bag

Recent studies have shown to moderate the pro-inflammatory cascade as well as having a beneficial effect on aiding healthy liver function. Milk Thistle is notorious for its liver supporting ability

The seeds contain a bioflavonoid complex known as silymarin. Silymarin, which is the active ingredient, is simply the purified extract of the fruits (seeds) of the plant. It is responsible for the main medical benefits and it is made up of three main flavonoids:

• silybin – also known as silibinin
• silydianin – also known as silidianin
• silychristin – also known as silicristin

Silybin makes up 50% – 70% of silymarin and has been shown in clinical studies to be the most biologically active and beneficial constituent of the extract, silymarin, responsible for roughly 70% of milk thistle’s total health benefit.

This powerful herb may protect the cells of the liver by blocking the entrance of harmful toxins and helping remove these toxins from liver cells. As with other flavonoids, it is a powerful antioxidant which works to maintain health and energy by protecting the body from damage caused by free radicals and lipid peroxidation, which can injure healthy cells and tissues.

Milk Thistle is one of the most effective herbs at stimulating the production and flow of bile, which helps to break down excess fat and prevents it from accumulating in the liver. Bile is also essential for the elimination of toxins in the body.

Signs that your dog may need liver support include:

• Poor appetite
• Weight loss
• Increased thirst
• Excessive drooling
• Changes in their behaviour
• Vomiting or diarrhoea
• Lack of energy or depression

If your dog is showing any of these signs, it’s important to consult your vet, who will be able to offer the best advice with regards to your pet’s health needs.
