Milk Thistle Extract Aids Type II Diabetics
Dr. Lee Swanson
A four-month randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted in 51 type II diabetic patients in two groups. The patients were 40-60 years old and each one had diabetes for at least two years. The first group received a 200 mg silymarin tablet three times a day, plus conventional therapy. The second group received the same therapy and a placebo tablet instead of silymarin.
At the beginning of the study, the patients had similar blood sugar levels and blood sugar control. After taking the tablets for four months, the milk thistle group showed better blood sugar control and better cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Researchers concluded: “Silymarin treatment in type II diabetic patients for four months has a beneficial effect on improving the glycemic profile.”
