Milk Thistle seed,
Silybum marianum, is an excellent source of all of the healing properties
of the herb Milk Thistle (the seeds, the root and the rest of the plant
can all be used). The seeds are especially helpful for birds, as they
will readily eat them. Birds commonly develop liver disease, and since
it is easy to feed them to birds, it is an excellent way to help heal
them. 
You can also feed Milk Thistle seeds prophylactically (as a proactive effort) to help prevent liver disease and a variety of other disorders. Milk Thistle has powerful antioxidants that maintain overall health.
Milk Thistle has been widely studied and scientifically proven to:
- Be Hepatoprotective - this means it helps protect the liver from damage
- Be Hepatorestorative - this means it helps heal liver cells
- Provide essential oils
- Contain valuable trace minerals
- Have Betaine
(Trimethyglycine), a powerful glutathione regenerator
- Glutathione is the body's primary antioxidant; its depletion is common during disease. Providing additional glutathione by adding Betaine is one way to heal the body's diseased tissues.
