• Supports Liver Functions and Cellular Regeneration*
The most bioactive compound in milk thistle is silymarin, a mixture of flavonoids with a long history of liver support. Silymarin supports the health of Kupffer cells, specialized liver cells responsible for removing bacteria, old blood cells, and other foreign matter from the liver's blood supply. Silymarin scavenges free radicals (superoxide anion radical and nitric oxide) produced by activated Kupffer cells, supports healthy leukotriene levels, and supports glutathione production that is used in detoxification.*
Silymarin also supports the health of hepatocytes, highly versatile liver cells with unique physiologic functions. Studies of silymarin have demonstrated that it supports the health of the hepatocyte outer membrane, which is crucial to the liver's detoxification processes. Silymarin also supports the healthy regenerative ability of the liver through support of protein synthesis in the hepatocytes.*
The use of silymarin in several clinical studies has established silymarin's safety in particular and milk thistle's safety as a whole. Concomitant use of silymarin and other compounds in milk thistle with chemotherapeutic agents has been examined. Researchers have also studied milk thistle's safety and support of liver health in a variety of health situations.*
