Antioxidant Properties: It helps protect the liver from toxins and supports liver cell regeneration.

Blood Sugar Control: Some studies suggest it can help manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Heart Health: It may help lower cholesterol levels, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease.

Neuroprotective Effects: Some studies suggest that milk thistle may help prevent age-related cognitive decline in brain function and support neurological health.
