Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is of great importance to horses. Supplementary feeding of milk thistle as a cure can detoxify the horse's body. By combining it with other herbs containing bitter substances (e.g. artichoke leaves or dandelion), the positive properties of milk thistle can be further increased. The most valuable ingredient in milk thistle is silymarin. The silymarin is mainly contained in the hard-shelled, shiny black milk thistle fruits.

Milk thistle seeds contain valuable nutrients:

    Unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid)
    vitamin E
    bitter substances
    Essential Oils
    Silymarin (a complex belonging to the flavonoids)
