Now Foods Silymarin 150 Mg (120 Veggie Caps) (120 Vcaps®)
Silymarin (Silybum marianum), also known as Milk Thistle, is an herb that is well documented in early traditional herbal medicine. Milk thistle helps alleviate the symptoms of hepatitis, cirrhosis, and inflammatory liver conditions. It is one of the most effective herbs known for relieving liver disorders. Many herbalists and medical practitioners believe that milk thistle can help protect the liver from damage caused by alcohol, chemicals, drugs, diseases, and toxic plants. Milk thistle contains a chemical substance, silymarin, which is purported to protect liver cells in the following ways:
- Has anti-inflammatory effects, which keeps liver cells from swelling in response to injury.
- Has antioxidant properties. Thus, protects body cells from damage caused by a chemical process called oxidation.
- Silymarin seems to encourage liver cell growth. By changing the outside layer of liver cells, it prevents certain toxins from getting into liver cells.
Studies abroad and in the U.S. have indicated that contituents in Silymarin may help to support healthy liver function.
