An Ancient Herb - The Greek herbalist Dioscorides catalogued milk thistle in his list of healing plants for liver conditions, improving bile flow and stimulating digestion.* The Roman author Pliny was of a similar opinion. Indeed, milk thistle (Silybum marianum) extracts have been used as traditional herbal remedies for almost 2000 years and milk thistle is now extensively cultivated as a healing herb. Special Antioxidant Benefits: Silymarin refers to three active flavonoid components of milk thistle: primarily silybin with smaller amounts of silydianin and silychristin. This trio neutralizes toxins and improves liver function.* Its action rests primarily upon the ability to inhibit production and activity of hepatotoxic (liver toxic) compounds. More recent evidence indicates that it benefits the health of several other organs as well. The liver is the primary organ for detoxification. Many toxins are either free radicals, or encourage free radical production and may subsequently interfere with the liver s defenses against free radicals. As a potent antioxidant, silymarin intervenes in free radical generation and protects against many reactive oxygen species. In some measurement systems, silymarin is ten times more effective than vitamin E in preventing unwanted oxidation. The extract also increases the liver s content of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione (GSH) by ~35 percent, and increases the levels of the body s major antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase (SOD). Silymarin also modulates the actions of lipoxygenase in the liver. Lipoxygenase acts upon polyunsaturated fatty acids to produce pro-inflammatory compounds called leukotrienes, which cause damage to liver cell membranes. Silymarin is active against all of these assaults upon liver cell integrity and function. It therefore has direct and indirect antioxidant benefits by elevating the body s own defenses. Research has shown that milk thistle extracts also significantly enhance cellular immune biomarkers

  • Beneficial for maintenance of the liver, the main detoxifying organ of the body
  • The liver is capable of extensive self-regeneration, but silymarin can even markedly increase this ability to replace damaged cells.* There is also some suggestion that silymarin stimulates protein synthesis in the liver.* Nevertheless, silymarin does not encourage malignant liver cell growth.* Growing evidence suggests that silymarin has protective properties to the kidneys that mirror those in the liver.
  • Provides compounds that boost the body s antioxidant system . An important addition to detoxification regimens and an excellent tonic for anyone under stress
  • Supports glutathione, one of the primary antioxidants found in the body
