7 Evidence-Based Benefits of Our Dandelion Detox Tea

Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) delivers silymarin compounds that:
- Help protect liver cells from oxidative damage

A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that dandelion extract significantly improved liver enzyme profiles, while research in Phytotherapy Research demonstrated milk thistle's ability to support healthy liver function markers.
