Natural Liver support for hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils and other small pets
The liver is an organ with many important functions. Its many responsibilities include filtering toxins out of the blood, releasing bile for effective digestion and more. Because the liver is so vital to the health of all pocket pets, Milk Thistle is especially beneficial for pets fighting off serious illnesses like cancer or fatty liver disease. It contains the active compound silymarin, which may help to detoxify the liver and encourages cell regeneration. Studies have shown that Milk Thistle may also help support kidney function.
How NHV Milk Thistle Supports Cancer and Liver Disease
Tumors are fairly common for many pocket pets, like cases of hamster liver cancer or guinea pig liver failure. Milk Thistle contains the active compound silymarin which has been used for thousands of years for its many beneficial properties. If your pet gets cancer, they will most likely be prescribed powerful cancer medications which can damage the kidneys and damage the liver. So in terms of cancer support, milk thistle is extremely beneficial to help offset the negative effects of medications and support liver function due to its rich concentration of free radical scavengers.
