Have you often experienced feeling broken in the morning after drinking alcohol and having no desire to do anything? Experts have revealed that a simple and cheap supplement could be the key to curing a hangover, informs The Mirror.
Which supplement can help with a hangover
It turns out that milk thistle helps maintain liver health and reduces inflammation, making it ideal for overcoming a hangover.
Milk thistle is a herbal remedy derived from the milk thistle plant, also known as Silybum marianum. The spiny plant has characteristic purple flowers with white veins.
The extract of milk thistle contains a large amount of silymarin, which is concentrated in the plant itself.
It is known that silymarin from milk thistle has antioxidant, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Currently, milk thistle extract is sold in the form of pills.
Traditionally, it has been used to treat liver and gallbladder diseases, stimulate breast milk production, prevent and treat cancer, and even protect the liver from snake bites, alcohol, and other environmental toxins.
What milk thistle does
Milk thistle is often advertised for its protective effect on the liver and is commonly used by people with liver damage due to conditions like alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and even liver cancer.
Although more research is needed on how it works, it is believed that milk thistle reduces liver damage caused by free radicals, which are formed when the liver metabolizes toxic substances.
A 2021 study showed improvement in liver function in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease who took milk thistle supplements, suggesting it could help reduce inflammation and liver damage.
However, it's important to note that while vitamin and mineral supplements are generally safe to consume, it’s best to get nutrients from food sources whenever possible. Before making any significant changes to your diet or lifestyle, consult with a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.
