Description

Food supplement in the form of a hard capsule containing standardised Milk thistle extract, which supports normal liver functions.

Do you want to take care of your liver, which plays a role in the proper digestion of food, energy production, and detoxification of the body? In addition to adopting healthy eating habits, avoiding alcohol consumption, and regular physical activity, consider supplementing with milk thistle. This plant contains many valuable ingredients that positively affect the proper functioning of the liver and bile ducts.

Milk thistle has been known since ancient times and is currently a popular ingredient in food supplements. The extract obtained from milk thistle seeds is a source of a complex of flavonolignans, referred to as silymarin, of which silybin is one of the most active components. Silybin is a natural antioxidant that has a beneficial effect on our body. It interacts with the immune system and also participates in stimulating liver cells to regenerate [1]. It has been observed that taking silybin is associated with a reduction in insulin resistance, a decrease in fasting insulin and glucose levels, as well as a decrease in total cholesterol, LDL fraction, and triglycerides [2]. Silybin can modulate the expression of genes involved in the homeostasis of bile acids, which are essential for the proper digestion of fats, and also have a positive effect on maintaining normal levels of ALT and AST transaminases [3,4]. The activity of these enzymes is determined in the so-called liver test, which is used to diagnose liver damage. Our liver is constantly exposed to unfavourable factors such as an unhealthy lifestyle, toxins, alcohol consumption, and medication use, so it is worth considering supplementation to support its proper functioning.
