Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a thorny plant presenting decorative leaves with a white pattern of veins and purple flower heads. Originally a native of Southern Europe through to Asia, it is now found throughout the world. Cultivated fields for the production of raw material for the pharmaceutical industry exist on a larger scale in Austria (Waldviertel region), Germany, Hungary, Poland, China and Argentina. In Europe it is sown yearly in March–April. The harvest in two steps (cutting and threshing) takes place in August, about 2–3 weeks after the flowering. Traditional milk thistle extract is made from the seeds, which contain approximately 4–6% antioxidant called Silymarin. Silymarin is a complex mixture of polyphenolic molecules, including seven closely related flavonolignans (silybin A, silybin B, isosilybin A, isosilybin B, silychristin, isosilychristin, silydianin) and one flavonoid (taxifolin). Milk thistle has also been known to be used as food. The roots can be eaten raw, boiled or par-boiled and roasted. The young shoots in spring can be cut down to the root and boiled. The spiny bracts on the flower head were eaten in the past like globe artichoke, and the stems (after peeling) can be soaked overnight to remove bitterness and then stewed. The leaves can be trimmed of prickles and boiled as a spinach substitute or they can also be added raw to salads.

• Milk Thistle extract is an antioxidant. Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit oxidation. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that results from stress, alcohol, exposure to UV radiation or contaminated environments. Oxidation can generate free radicals, leading to chain reactions that can damage cells and tissues of organisms. Antioxidants, such as Milk Thistle, terminate these chain reactions and increases the physiological resistance of the organism. (ID 2640*, ID 3582*, ID 3822 *)
