VITATEKA milk thistle meal ("Siberian power") is a natural product with a clean composition and no unnecessary additives. Essentially it is a flour made from the ground seeds of Silybum marianum, traditionally associated with supporting the liver and digestion.

In this article we look at what milk thistle meal is, why it is useful, how to use it and who it suits.

What is milk thistle meal

The meal is what remains of milk thistle seeds after cold pressing (extracting the oil). The result is a flour rich in dietary fibre and bioactive substances. Because the product is not heat-treated, it retains the maximum benefit of the raw material. The composition is extremely simple — 100% milk thistle seeds, with no additives.

Useful properties

Milk thistle is one of the best-known plants traditionally linked with supporting the liver:

  • regular use of the meal is traditionally associated with supporting the liver;
  • it is linked with normal bile flow and the body's natural cleansing processes;
  • fibre promotes the normal work of the gut and supports metabolism;
  • the meal can be a useful addition for those watching their sugar and cholesterol levels — as part of a balanced diet.

This makes the meal a convenient helper for those who care about the liver and comfortable digestion as part of their everyday diet.

A fibre-rich composition

The main value of the meal is dietary fibre. It stimulates gut motility and helps maintain a normal metabolism. Other products with fibre and bran can be found in the Fibre, bran, seeds section.

How to use

It is recommended to take 1–2 teaspoons a day. The meal is convenient to add to:

  • smoothies and yoghurts;
  • porridge and salads;
  • baked goods;
  • or simply take it with water.

The taste is neutral, so the meal fits easily into familiar dishes. The product is suitable for vegans.

Who it suits

  • those who care about liver and digestive health as part of a balanced diet;
  • those who lack fibre in their daily diet;
  • fans of natural products with a simple, clean composition;
  • vegans and supporters of a plant-based diet.
