This herbal ingredient contains antioxidants, stabilizing factors for cell membranes, enhancing factors for bile secretion, and nutrients that prevent the reduction of endogenous antioxidants such as glutathione. Glutathione is a tripeptide that appears in high concentrations in the liver, binds heavy metals and solvents, and converts them into a form that can be excreted through urine or bile.
The protection it provides is not only beneficial for the liver itself but also for the health and well-being of the entire body. Silymarin extract is widely known for its strong antioxidant properties and its ability to shield the liver.
Furthermore, research studies indicate that Silymarin extract protects against melanoma and reduces the risk of spreading in combination with other treatments, whether surgical or conservative. It is also indicated for the treatment of psoriasis, as the overproduction of leukotrienes causes inflammation.
