Milk Thistle

I remember that Chad Waterbury lists milk thistle as a “must use” supplement? Why is this? I have never heard much about milk thistle.

Unless I’m mistaken the main reason to take milk thistle is for the silymarin content – this being a liver protectant of good repute.

Liver supplement. Plus, I’ve seen Cy mention that it can help as an anti-oxidant.
