Spring is here and that means many dogs🐕 will be exposed to more environmental toxins than any other time of year! Environmental toxins found in spring cleaning products🧼, lawn chemicals🚿, and flea & tick pesticides💦🦟 take a heavy toll on your pet’s liver.
Milk thistle🪴 (silymarin) is the go-to liver detox herb. One of the most important herbs to add to your pet’s diet, this toxin flusher comes from a flowering herb especially famous for tackling liver problems by serving as a house-cleaner of sorts. Not only protecting the liver, but restoring a damaged liver as well. This powerful herb has been shown to reduce liver stress, dramatically reducing liver enzymes in just a few weeks, saving livers (and lives)!
Detoxification is such an important process, not only for humans but also for our pets. A dog that can’t detoxify appropriately is at risk for serious immune complications down the road. According to University of Maryland Medical Center, “Early laboratory studies show that silymarin and other active substances in milk thistle may have anticancer effects. These substances appear to stop cancer cells from dividing and reproducing, shorten their life span, and reduce blood supply to tumors.
What's more, scientists have spent decades researching how some of the longest lived people on earth have lived, AND what they ate! When it comes to food, in blue-zone Sardinia, these long-lived senior citizens interestingly enough consumed milk thistle tea daily knowing it had detox properties and according to longevity experts may have played an important role in their long lives.
