Whether you're looking to counteract a family history of liver disease, or your beer-soaked twenties, consider this herb. The active compound in milk thistle, silymarin, has been shown to detoxify the liver, repair damage that's been done to cells by alcohol or pain relievers, and regulate the immune system to protect this organ from future threats. In numerous studies, silymarin has helped reverse alcoholic liver damage and improved symptoms in people with Hepatitis C. It also helps form new liver cells. Milk thistle has been shown in various clinical trials to be safe and effective in protecting liver cells from the toxicity of more severe drugs like chemotherapy.
