Core Value of the Product

Milk thistle extract (CAS 84604-20-6) is a natural active ingredient extracted from the seeds of Silybum marianum. The core ingredient is silymarin, which contains flavonolignan compounds such as silybin and silydianin. This product uses a standardized extraction process (ethanol/supercritical CO₂ extraction) to provide 80%-98% silymarin content, meeting the diversified needs of medicines, health products and skin care products.

Application areas and efficacy

1. Liver health products

Adjuvant treatment of alcoholic liver/fatty liver: Silybin activates antioxidant enzymes (such as SOD) to reduce ALT/AST levels (clinical trials show a 30%-40% reduction in 6 weeks)

Hangover and liver protection tablets: recommended dose 200-400 mg/day, compounded with curcumin to enhance the effect

2. Antioxidant skin care products

Anti-aging essence: 1%-3% addition inhibits free radicals (ORAC value ≥ 8000 μmol TE/g), reduces UV-induced collagen loss

Anti-acne formula: regulates sebum secretion, combined with tea tree oil to reduce the activity of Propionibacterium acnes

3. Functional food

Liver protection capsules: synergistic with vitamin E and N-acetylcysteine (NAC)

Meal replacement powder additives: enhance metabolic function, suitable for people on ketogenic diet
