It is also widely used as animal fodder. It grows up to 1.5 meters tall and bears a few purplish-red flower heads. Its spiky leaves are distinguished by white spots running along the veins. The milk thistle owes its name to these spots: Legend has it that the Virgin Mary spilled her breast milk on the thistle leaves while trying to protect the infant Jesus from persecution by King Herod. The fruits of the milk thistle contain valuable phytochemicals such as silymarin. Milk thistle capsules contain 200 mg of high-quality milk thistle concentrate with a high concentration of the phytochemical silymarin. The capsule shell is made from plant-based cellulose and is gelatin-free. Milk thistle capsules are a natural product. Harvest-related variations in capsule color may occur. This does not affect the quality of the product. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. The recommended daily intake should not be exceeded.
