FAQ
Milk Thistle Tincture is an organic food supplement made from dried milk thistle fruits (Silybum marianum, fructus), prepared using alcohol extraction supported by ultrasound-assisted technology. This process helps release naturally occurring plant compounds, including silymarin, which is characteristic of milk thistle. The plant is traditionally used to support liver function and digestive balance.
For extraction, we use organic Slovenian fruit brandy containing 55% alcohol by volume, which helps extract various plant compounds, particularly the characteristic flavonolignans that make up silymarin. The dried fruits are coarsely ground before extraction to ensure better contact with the alcohol. The extraction process is further enhanced by ultrasound-assisted technology, which helps release compounds from the plant material. The fruits are then left to macerate for at least three additional weeks, after which the extract is carefully filtered.
The milk thistle fruits come from certified organic cultivation in Slovenia, where the plants grow in harmony with natural rhythms. This ensures traceability and the quality of the raw material, which forms the foundation of every carefully prepared herbal product.

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum)
Milk thistle is a striking plant with large, glossy leaves marked by distinctive white veins and vivid purple flower heads. Its sturdy presence has long drawn the attention of herbalists and found a place in folk tradition.
It belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae).
In herbal practice, we mainly use the seeds (semen), which mature in the flower heads.
An old story links the white markings on milk thistle leaves with the Virgin Mary. This association is reflected in the plant’s Latin name, *marianum*. Its strong form also speaks of its ability to grow in dry, sunny places.
Milk thistle has a long tradition of use in herbal routines centred on the liver and digestion. People often include it in a seasonal routine or during times when they wish to give more attention to their daily habits.
Today, milk thistle is also well known in modern herbal practice. Its seeds are valued for their naturally occurring plant compounds and for their long history of traditional use.

Is it better to use milk thistle tincture or ground seeds?
Both have their place. The tincture is convenient and easy to include in a daily routine, while ground seeds offer a way to use the whole seed. Some people choose to use both.
Why is it important to grind milk thistle seeds?
Whole milk thistle seeds are hard. Grinding them just before use breaks the seed coat and makes the contents more accessible.
What about milk thistle seed oil – is it a better choice than the tincture?
Milk thistle seed oil can be used in food or taken by the teaspoon as part of a daily routine. It contains mainly the fatty components of the seeds, while the tincture contains compounds extracted with alcohol.
The oil and tincture are different preparations. Which one suits you depends on how you wish to include milk thistle in your routine; they can also be used together.
