Milk Thistle (silymarin) is widely used to support liver and kidney health and to assist in the natural clearance of toxins.  A new study shows that Milk Thistle also reduces the oxidation of LDL cholesterol Low-density lipoprotein. It is a group of lipids and proteins that allow lipids like cholesterol, triglycerides, and fat soluble nutrients (Vitamin A, D, E , K, Q 10, carotenes) to be transported with the water-based bloodstream. 1 and helps prevent immune cells from sticking to damaged cholesterol – thus blocking key processes that lead directly to hardening of your arteries.

LDL cholesterol Low-density lipoprotein. It is a group of lipids and proteins that allow lipids like cholesterol, triglycerides, and fat soluble nutrients (Vitamin A, D, E , K, Q 10, carotenes) to be transported with the water-based bloodstream. is often referred to as “bad” cholesterol.  However, it is vital to transporting your fat soluble nutrition to your cells.  It only becomes “bad” when it is damaged by toxins, germs, free radicals, stress chemicals, or some other inflammatory irritant.  A variety of synergistic antioxidants like tocotrienols, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Q10 are fundamental protection.  Add to this list Milk Thistle, which is also generally protective against the very high levels of pollution just about everyone is exposed to.
