Silymarin 81 - Milk Thistle Extract to Support Liver Health

The health of your liver is critical to the overall function of your body. It aids in digestion, cleansing, and cell repair. It produces a vast number of metabolic chemicals and determines whether the chemicals in your body are good or bad. Silymarin 81 is a standardized extract from milk thistle, long prized for its qualities as a remedy for liver problems.

The silymarin in milk thistle has shown positive effects in treating many forms of liver ailments, including hepatitis, necroses, and cirrhosis. Silymarin 81 stimulates production of new liver cells to replace older, damaged ones, and inhibits many factors responsible for liver damage, including drug and alcohol abuse.

The ingredients in Silymarin 81 have traditional use in supporting healthy liver function. The active ingredient in Silymarin 81 is silybin, an antioxidant that is an extremely potent liver protective agent. Research has shown silybin to be effective in protecting the organ from toxic chemicals. Its protective qualities are believed to emanate from its ability to alter the liver cell membrane structure, and prevent the absorption of toxins into the cells.

Silymarin 81 works by preventing the depletion of glutathion in your liver, crucial to its ability to detoxify harmful toxins. The greater the glutathion content in your liver, the better its ability to detoxify. Toxic chemicals can reduce the liver’s amount of glutathion, but Silymarin 81 prevents the depletion, and has been shown to actually increase the level of this all-important substance. Silymarin also consists of a group of chemical compounds called flavonolignands that help repair damaged liver cells and keep new cells from being damaged.
