Milk Thistle is an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory supplement that supports liver function.

It can protect the liver from toxins, iron overload, and the negative effects of fatty liver.

Milk thistle supplementation may be beneficial for horses with allergies and horses that are prone to laminitis.

Milk Thistle, also known as St. Mary’s Thistle, is a Mediterranean plant that contains various active compounds collectively called silymarin which include silybin. The main site of action of milk thistle extract is the liver and it has been well-researched for its effects on liver disease in humans.

Easy keepers that tend to have cresty neck and other abnormal fat deposits might have excess fat in the liver. Overweight/obese horses and those with equine metabolic syndrome or Cushing’s disease/PPID might benefit from milk thistle supplementation to help protect their liver and support its function. In humans, silymarin has been shown to protect against the negative effects of fat accumulation in the liver.
