Milk thistle is a flowering plant. Its seeds contain silymarin, one of the most studied plant compounds for the liver. It is traditionally used to support liver cells and their everyday repair.

Silymarin works as an antioxidant, which means it helps protect cells from everyday wear. It also supports glutathione, the main antioxidant the liver makes to protect its own cells.

Milk thistle is traditionally used to support bile flow. Bile is the fluid the liver makes to help the body break down fats from food.

Purezen uses milk thistle seed extract standardized to 80% silymarin. Standardized means every batch is made to contain the same level of the active compound.

One serving of Liv-It-Up (2 capsules) gives 400 mg of this extract.

In Liv-It-Up, take 2 capsules a day: one after breakfast and one after lunch. Take it daily for at least 3 months, alongside a balanced diet and plenty of water.

Every batch of Liv-It-Up comes with a Certificate of Analysis, a lab report confirming what is inside. The finished product is also tested at a NABL-accredited lab. See the current batch report on the Liv-It-Up page.

Speak to your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, take regular medication, or have a liver condition. Avoid it if you are allergic to plants in the daisy family, such as marigold or chrysanthemum.
