Silymarin

- Milk thistle extract for liver support
- Helps support liver function
- Used in herbal medicine to help relieve digestive disorders
Silymarin is a highly concentrated extract of milk thistle that is traditionally used in herbal medicine as a hepatoprotective product to support healthy liver function and relieve digestive disorders. This highly active plant extract protects the liver from free radical damage, supports glutathione concentration and promotes superoxide dismutase activity. It helps maintain the health of liver cells through various mechanisms, including stimulating protein synthesis and promoting a healthy balance of cytokines. Milk thistle extract also supports liver function by increasing the activity of phase II detoxification enzymes. Healthy liver function is also necessary for the complex process of fat metabolism. Poor digestion of fats can cause digestive problems, including bloating, nausea, pain and stomach fullness. Milk thistle helps relieve dyspepsia, particularly after overeating, by stimulating the production and secretion of bile acids.
