Mannavita Hungarian cold-pressed Milk Thistle seed oil • 250 ml

Milk thistle seed oil is a valuable natural product, recommended primarily for its liver-protective and detoxifying effects. The main active ingredient in milk thistle is a flavonoid complex called silymarin, which is found in the highest concentration in the plant’s seeds. This compound consists of several components – silybin, silydianin, silychristin – which together support the regeneration and protection of liver cells, as well as the body's detoxification processes.

Milk thistle seed oil can be used not only internally but externally as well: thanks to its soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, it can help treat irritated, inflamed skin. The oil contains unsaturated fatty acids – such as linoleic and oleic acids – which nourish and hydrate the skin, while also supporting cellular renewal. [01.]

☀ Internal use: 1-2 tablespoons daily.

• Shake before use.
• You may increase the daily dose up to 4 tablespoons.

 ☀ Application to the skin:

1. Clean the skin surface: clean skin absorbs the oil better.

Physiological benefits of milk thistle oil

Milk thistle not only protects the liver, but also stimulates bile production and secretion. As a result, it may improve digestion, especially after consuming fatty or heavy foods. People with gallbladder issues often experience relief when using it regularly.

Its main active ingredient, silymarin, has primarily antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It binds free radicals, inhibits lipid peroxidation, thereby protecting liver cells from various toxic substances such as alcohol, medications, and chemicals.

Silymarin also stimulates protein synthesis in liver cells, supporting their rebuilding and regeneration. Clinical studies suggest it is particularly effective in cases of fatty liver, hepatitis, and milder liver damage.  [02.]

According to clinical studies, milk thistle oil is considered safe even for long-term use and does not cause dependence or habituation. This is especially important for those with chronic liver problems, fatty liver, or alcohol-induced liver damage who are seeking a natural supplement alongside medical treatment.

Interestingly, milk thistle has been known since ancient times: both Romans and Greeks used it for liver ailments and snake bites. In folk medicine, it was referred to as the “guardian of the liver.”

Milk thistle seed oil can be an excellent choice for those who want to support their liver health naturally, especially during times of increased stress – medication use, alcohol, toxins, stress. In oil form, it can easily be incorporated into the diet – for example in salads or smoothies – making it a practical and pleasant way to support daily health.
