Milk thistle is a plant used for centuries, renowned for its beneficial properties, particularly on the liver and digestion. Today, thanks to scientific advancements, its effects are better understood and validated, making milk thistle a popular food supplement for many people.
The organic version offered by the Nutrimea brand provides premium quality, from an environmentally friendly and rigorously controlled cultivation process.
What is milk thistle?
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is an herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family (like artichoke, dandelion, etc.). Recognizable by its dark green leaves marbled with white and its thorny purple flowers, it grows spontaneously in Mediterranean regions, particularly in Southern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
Used since antiquity for its properties, milk thistle is now recognized as one of the most studied plants in scientific research, particularly for supporting liver health and digestion.
How is milk thistle cultivated for food supplements?
Milk thistle is primarily cultivated for its seeds, rich in silymarin, the plant's key active ingredient. In organic farming, its cultivation follows a strict and natural process:
- Sowing: directly in the ground, in spring or autumn depending on the climate.
- Growing conditions: the plant requires plenty of sun and well-drained soil. It is naturally drought-resistant.
- Harvesting: the seeds are harvested in summer, once the flowers have dried. Their extraction requires care and protection, as the flower heads are very spiny.
- Processing: the seeds are then cleaned, dried, then crushed or extracted to produce powder or concentrated extracts, ready to be packaged in capsules.
The organic version used by Nutrimea guarantees cultivation without pesticides, without chemical herbicides, with strict quality control from the field to the bottle.
