A silymarin
constituent, called isosylybin B, has proven to be amazing in maintaining
healthy cell division; not only does this milk thistle ingredient protect the
liver, but new studies show its beneficial effect on prostate health as
well. Since our livers can easily become toxic from daily exposure to the
chemicals found in modern life, silibinin and silymarin are essential for
protecting your liver.
- Peter
The liver is a large glandular organ, whose
functions include storage and filtration of blood, secretion of bile,
detoxification of various substances, and conversion of sugars into glycogen,
which it stores. The liver is also responsible for processing many vitamins and
nutrients into a form that can be utilized by the body, and processing many
toxic chemicals for elimination.
Modern living involves daily exposure to
substances that are toxic to our bodies, which imposes a heavy load on the
liver. Therefore, a healthy liver is critical to well-being. Certain lifestyle
risks and medical conditions make it all the more important to ensure that the
liver is being maintained at its functional best.
In Europe and Asia, herbal liver tonics have
been in common use for centuries. The effectiveness of the herbs used has been
validated during the past decades through modern research and clinical studies.
These herbs generally contain antioxidants, cell membrane stabilizing agents,
bile secretion enhancing compounds, or nutrients that prevent depletion of
endogenous antioxidants such as glutathione. Hepato-protection is beneficial not
only for the liver, but for the overall health and vitality of our body.
Silymarin is an active component of the
extract of milk thistle (Silybum marianun), a member of the compositae
or daisy family.46
Silymarin is considered a flavonolignan, called silybin, which is a unique type
of bioflavonoid, and an antioxidant that scavenges damaging free radicals.
Scientific studies show that oral supplementation with silymarin can help
support liver function.47-52* Silymarin has been shown to
combat lipid peroxidation in the liver. It has also been demonstrated that
silymarin may help preserve liver cells. Silymarin has a particular effect in
the liver where it can help to maintain a healthy liver.*
