Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.
Milk thistle seed oil is cold pressed from the seeds of Silybum marianum, a plant widely recognised for its high silymarin content. The oil itself is rich in linoleic acid (omega-6) and contains a significant proportion of the flavonolignan silymarin, giving it strong antioxidant activity and positioning it as a premium ingredient in liver-support and functional health formulations.
Bioform's milk thistle oil is produced by mechanical cold pressing with no heat treatment or chemical modification. It is supplied with COA including fatty acid profile and silymarin content analysis. Primary applications include dietary supplement softgels, functional food formulations, pharmaceutical topical preparations and premium antioxidant skincare products.
