Silymarin NEW

Efficacy and function

Milk thistle is an excellent liver protector. The seeds contain new flavonoids, the main component is SILYMARIN, A mixture of silybine-glycosides, and rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E. It has good antioxidant function, can effectively remove free radicals, and "break" the damage caused by multi-enzyme reaction to the body, and has very good detoxification function to the liver. It has good health care effect on liver cirrhosis, fatty liver, liver poisoning, cholecystitis, pericholecystitis, cholelithiasis pain and other hepatobiliary symptoms.

Main functions:

1. Prevention of liver damage: Forming a protective film on liver cells, significantly reducing the damage of excessive alcohol to the liver.

2. Auxiliary liver disease: It can strengthen and repair the liver. By stimulating protein synthesis, it can promote liver cell repair and promote cell regeneration. The symptoms and liver function of patients with hepatitis were obviously improved.

3. It can reduce the chance of liver cells being destroyed by free radicals and protect liver cell membrane. It has the effect of anti-radiation.

4. Regulate the secretion of bile, help digest fat, and also nourish the stomach, spleen, gallbladder and kidneys.

5. Provide nutrients to the circulatory system and reduce cardiovascular problems, including atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia.

Milk thistle extract

Silymarin, also known as Yiganling, ligantai, silimalin, Liganon, is a flavonoid complex extracted from the seeds of milk thistle in the asteraceae family by condensation of dihydroflavonol and phenylpropyl derivatives, the appearance of yellow powder or crystalline powder, bitter taste. Easily soluble in acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol and ethanol, slightly soluble in chloroform, almost insoluble in water, has a strong liver protection effect, can protect liver cells from free radical damage, far more effective than vitamin E, promote protein synthesis, speed up the manufacture of new liver cells, can allow the damaged liver cells to repair themselves, so it is called "natural liver protection drugs". It mainly contains four flavonoids isomers of silybin, isosilybin, silymarin and silymarin, among which silymarin is the main bioactive component of silymarin and has the highest content, which has the effects of anti-oxygen free radicals, anti-lipid peroxidation and protection of liver cell membrane. Due to the shortcomings of silymarin insoluble in water, poor oral absorption and low bioavailability, solid dispersion technology of lecithin can be used to increase the lipid solubility of silymarin and improve the bioavailability (about 3 times), so as to enhance its anti-lipid peroxidation, stabilize and repair the damaged liver cell membrane, and promote the functional recovery of liver cells. It has been used to treat acute, chronic hepatitis, hepatitis B, cirrhosis of the liver and many kinds of toxic liver injury. The medicinal use of milk thistle can be traced back to 2000 years ago, when the famous 17th century pharmacist MicholasCulpeper mentioned using it to open up the "barrier" of the liver and spleen and recommended its use to protect the liver and treat jaundice.

Side effect

Silymarin has an inhibitory effect on lipoxygenase and peroxidase, and is often used in the treatment of liver poisoning and liver dysfunction in clinical practice. It has anti-radiation and hypolipidemia effects. Silymarin can clear active oxygen species, anti-tumor and anti-cardiovascular diseases. The main side effect of silymarin is that patients will have nausea, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea and other symptoms after use, and long-term use of patients will produce antibodies to the drug, drug resistance phenomenon, once the drug will rebound, so hepatitis B patients in the use of the drug, must strictly follow the doctor's advice, use must be used under the guidance of a doctor, if there are adverse reactions, You should go to the hospital in time for a check-up and follow the doctor's advice.
