Researchers have shown that silymarin-containing milk thistle can protect the body in the fight against cancer and Alzheimer's disease. This flowering plant can be used in complex therapy to reduce the risk of these diseases..

Experiments were carried out by specialists from Cancer Research UK in the UK. Scientists say milk thistle has significant anti-cancer potential, but more research is needed. At the same time, the already available data on the first experiments carried out indicate the prospects of this plant, which can stop the spread of oncological disease..

Milk thistle extract helps to inhibit lesion growth in bowel cancer. Silymarin suppresses the development of the inflammatory process, the same applies to liver cancer.

Alzheimer's disease is also suppressed by milk thistle. This dicotyledonous plant significantly increases the resistance of brain cells to oxidative processes, which are a potential basis for the development of the disease. Silymarin prevents brain contamination with a protein that causes organ degeneration.
