Product Overview
Milk Thistle Extract is produced from the dried seeds of Silybum marianum, a botanical species traditionally cultivated across Europe and valued for its naturally occurring flavonolignan constituents.
After harvest, the seeds undergo controlled cleaning, milling, and extraction steps designed to preserve their characteristic natural silymarin-based constituent profile, resulting in a stable botanical ingredient suitable for technical applications.
Milk Thistle Extract (Silymarin) provides a consistent plant-derived raw material suitable for formulation development, manufacturing processes, and botanical research.
