Milk Thistle Extract for Liver Support
Helps support liver function
Used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve digestive disorders
Silymarin is a highly concentrated milk thistle extract that has traditionally been used in Herbal Medicine as a hepatoprotectant 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 liver cell health through various mechanisms, including stimulating protein synthesis and promoting a healthy cytokine balance. 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, especially after overeating, by stimulating the production and secretion of bile acids.
