The formula that combines at the molecular level the standardized extract of silymarin, offering increased bioavailability, with a role in the protection and good functioning of the liver.

Silymarin is an active principle that can be extracted from the seeds of the Silybum marianum plant. The plant is known as Silymarin, but it also has the popular name milk thistle (Milk Thistle). The compound is part of the group of flavonoids - plant compounds whose beneficial action on the liver has aroused the interest of modern doctors.

Silymarin is a powerful antioxidant that helps eliminate free radicals from the body. Thus, the active principle can stop cellular degradation, preventing premature aging of the body. The antioxidant effect of silymarin is considered 10 times greater than that of vitamin E.


Also, silymarin increases the level of glutathione synthesized by the liver by up to 35%. Glutathione is present in every cell in the body and was first discovered in 1889, its effects in the body being understood in 1984. It is also a powerful antioxidant, which, produced in large quantities, increases the detoxification capacity of the liver and the whole body.


Silymarin can also improve protein synthesis in the liver. Thus, the ability of the liver to regenerate is improved, by stimulating the production of new hepatocytes (liver cells), which replace the damaged ones. In addition, silymarin also has an anti-inflammatory effect, because it inhibits the synthesis of leukotrienes, compounds derived from arachidonic acid, a precursor of prostaglandins.

 

Silymarin - health benefits

 

• It protects the liver

Silymarin supplements are famous primarily for the fact that they protect the liver. They are used as complementary therapy by people suffering from liver damage due to conditions such as alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic steatosis, hepatitis and even liver cancer. Silymarin supplements may also protect the liver from the effects of toxins, such as amatoxin, which is produced by a poisonous mushroom and is fatal if ingested.

According to studies, armorial supplements have improved liver function in people with liver disease. This suggests that armoring could help reduce inflammation and liver damage.

 

• Reduces cholesterol

People who have high cholesterol can have heart problems, which can increase the risk of stroke. Some research has found that armor can influence blood cholesterol levels.

 

• It supports the weight loss process

According to some research, silymarin was found to cause weight loss. This suggests that armoring can be beneficial for people who want to lose extra pounds.
 

• Silymarin reduces insulin resistance

Armor can be a useful complementary therapy for people who want to keep type 2 diabetes under control. It has been found that silymarin can have the same results as some diabetic drugs, helping to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.

In addition, thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, the armor can reduce the risk of developing diabetic complications, such as kidney disease.
 

• It improves the symptoms of allergic asthma

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease in which the immune system overreacts to triggers in the environment, causing inflammation of the airways. Silymarin from theMilk Thistle can help reduce this inflammation.

 

• It can increase breast milk production

A proven effect of armoring is that it can increase the production of breast milk in nursing mothers. It is believed to improve the level of prolactin, the hormone that produces milk.
 

• Silymarin may protect bones

Osteoporosis is a disease caused by progressive bone loss. Usually, it develops slowly over several years and causes weakening of the bones, a problem that can lead to fractures even after minor falls.

It has been shown that armoring can stimulate bone mineralization and protect against loss of bone density. As a result, the researchers suggest that the armor may prevent or delay the loss of bone density in postmenopausal women.
 

• Improves cognition

According to a study conducted in 2015, silymarin improved resistance to oxidative stress, one of the causes of Alzheimer's disease. In this way, armor can help improve cognition and treat degenerative disorders that affect the mind.
 

• Silymarin supports the immune system

Armor can improve the immune system. Practically, silymarin could help the body fight against infections, but also reduce chronic inflammation caused by the immune system.

Several studies have shown that silymarin has immunomodulatory effects. Researchers found that silymarin boosted the immune system. At the same time, it suppressed an overactive immune system, thus reducing the chronic inflammation caused by conditions such as asthma and allergic rhinitis.



 

Silymarin Properties

 

• supporting the structure and functional capacities of the liver against the action of various endogenous or exogenous disturbing factors (e.g. stress, accumulation of fats or end products of metabolism inside the cells, etc.), through:
• maintaining the structure and permeability of the liver cell membrane, providing support in limiting the penetration of disruptive factors (phosphatidylcholine is an integral part of the cell membrane)
• supporting the liver cell membrane against the action of proinflammatory enzymes
• maintaining the integrity and functions of the liver tissue:
• supports the normal synthesis rate of ribosomal RNA
• limits the transformation of stellate cells into myofibroblasts (compounds that influence the liver structure)
• supporting body cells against the action of free radicals; maintains the normal level of glutathione, superoxide-dismutase and chelates the iron in the tissues above normal limits
• maintaining the normal detoxification function of the liver; favors neutralization, metabolism and hepatic elimination of exogenous and endogenous disturbing factors
• supporting the normal structure of nerve cells against the action of free radicals
• favoring the normal hepatic metabolism of purines and maintaining a normal level of uric acid
• maintaining a normal blood lipid level; supports the normal biliary elimination of sterols and fatty acids and offers support in limiting the hepatic synthesis of cholesterol
• maintaining the normal blood level of transaminases (AST, ALT)
• supporting the synthesis and elimination of bile secretion, with a role in the digestion of fats, the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, K and the elimination of fat-soluble metabolism products
• maintaining the health of the digestive system and the state of comfort
• the normal functioning of the intestinal tract and the balancing of pH at the gastric level
• maintaining the tone of the walls of the portal vein and normal blood circulation at the liver level
