Milk Thistle Inhibits 90% of Prostate Cancer Cells in Vitro: The milk thistle compound silibinin was found to slow the growth of human prostate cancer cells (PC-3 and DU-145) by over 90% in vitro after 72 hours. Milk thistle is known as the ultimate detox herb due to its potent antioxidant properties. It can boost liver glutathione levels by 35% in humans, and speeds the detoxification of many harmful toxins. More recently, milk thistle’s anti-cancer potential has come to light, with strong activity being shown against breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, and bladder cancer in lab studies. Clinical trials have already started for hepatitis, diabetes, depression as well as liver and prostate cancer. The clinical trial on prostate cancer was short in duration, and found it difficult to get enough silibinin into prostate tissue. So enhanced absorption supplements (combining milk thistle with lecithin) or longer term use may be required. Milk thistle is also used in Ayurvedic traditional medicine, in particular for liver support. Whether you're trying to do an overall detox program, give your liver a boost or lower your risk of cancer, milk thistle is a powerful medicinal herb which should be considered in addition to a healthy, balanced diet centred on organic fruit, vegetables, whole grains and foods, spices and herbs.
