Description
Silymarin is a flavonoid compound derived from milk thistle that supports liver function and enhances detoxification pathways. It is also used to support the gallbladder, kidneys and spleen. Silymarin prevents the depletion of glutathione within liver cells, thereby enhancing detoxification and protecting cells from free radical activity. Due to its variety of functions, Silymarin Forte makes a potent addition to any liver support and detoxification program. Silymarin has a well-established safety profile and a long history of medicinal use. Silymarin Forte includes 200 mg milk thistle seed extract per capsule, standardized to 58% silymarin.
Overview
The main bioflavonoid complex found in milk thistle seeds, silymarin, has been widespread in use for thousands of years to improve bile transport and support the liver, spleen and kidneys. It enhances liver cell detoxification by preventing the depletion of glutathione and by binding to liver cells, protecting them from exposure to chemicals and toxins. Silymarin is also able to increase unique protein synthesis within cells that protect them from free radical damage.
