What Are The Benefits Of Silymarin

What is Milk Thistle Extract?

Milk thistle extract 80 silymarin, extracted from the dried fruit of milk thistle, is a natural flavonoid lignan compound, the main components are silybin, isosilibinin, silybinin and silymarin Jiting, insoluble in water, easily soluble in acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol ethanol, slightly soluble in chloroform.
Silymarin powder has natural activity and is a natural liver-protecting drug. It can stably protect the integrity of liver cell membranes and prevent damage to stem cells. Its efficacy is significantly higher than that of vitamin E. It can create new liver cells and allow damaged liver cells to heal themselves , can also resist oxygen free radicals, protect brain damage, anti-aging and prevent arteriosclerosis, etc. It is the best drug for protecting the liver and preventing alcoholic liver and fatty liver.

What does silymarin do for the body？

1. Remove active oxygen
Milk thistle extract can eliminate cell activity, prevent cell paper peroxidation, resist lipid peroxidation, and maintain cell membrane fluidity;
2. Protect the liver
Silymarin can repair liver cells and regenerate liver fibrosis, improve liver cell function, inhibit lipoxygenase peroxidase reaction, and is clinically used for the treatment of liver poisoning and liver dysfunction;
3. Anti-tumor effect
Milk thistle seed extract can prevent DNA damage, block cell mutation, induce tumor cell apoptosis, and has a strong ability to scavenge cell free radicals;
4. Anti-cardiovascular disease effect
Silymarin milk thistle extract can reduce the cholesterol content in serum, reduce VLDL hair, increase HDL-C, can improve the ability to resist LDL, promote capillary circulation, and enhance blood circulation;
5. Protection against cerebral ischemia injury
Silymarin can protect brain cell damage, reduce the content of NO and NOS in ischemic brain tissue, reduce the infarct size, improve the body's antioxidant capacity, mediate the nerve center, enhance the activity of brain cells, and effectively prevent brain damage and cerebral infarction.

How does milk thistle extract protect the liver?

The mechanism of action of milk thistle in protecting the liver:
1. Protect liver cell membrane

Milk thistle extract 80 silymarin can use the peroxidation reaction of cells to maintain the fluidity of cell membranes and block the binding of some mycotoxins to specific receptors on liver cell membranes, thereby reducing the occurrence of tumors. Silymarin powder can also inhibit the attack and transmembrane transport of harmful substances on the liver cell membrane, interrupt the material circulation between the liver and intestines, and enhance the resistance of the liver cell membrane to protect liver cells;

2. Repair liver cell regeneration
Silymarin extract can bind to the receptor of estradiol in liver cells, enhance the activity of RNA polymerase I in the nucleus of liver cells, promote the synthesis of structural proteins and enzymes, and repair the DNA tissue of damaged cells;
3. Prevent liver fibrosis
Silymarin can prevent cells from activating HSCs through peroxidation and direct inhibition, and achieve liver anti-fibrosis.

The difference between silymarin and silybin:

Silymarin is a flavonoid lignin compound extracted from the fruit of milk thistle of Compositae. It is insoluble in water. It can protect liver cell membrane, assist liver self-regulation, help improve liver function, and has good protection and Restorative effect.
Silybin is a flavonoid compound isolated from the fruit of milk thistle, which can protect the enzyme system of liver cells and improve the impact of alcohol on the liver.
It can be seen that both silymarin and silybin are substances that are beneficial to the liver. Silymarin extract contains silybin, and silybin can also be used alone in products to protect the liver.
In addition to milk thistle, there are several plant extracts for liver protection:
1. Pueraria root extract can help the liver decompose alcohol, assist liver cells to repair, and promote the differentiation and proliferation of liver cells;
2. Salvia miltiorrhiza extract can inhibit inflammatory cytokines, resist and inhibit lipid peroxidation, and slow down the influence of free radicals on normal liver cells;
3. Schisandra chinensis extract can promote the synthesis of protein and glycogen in liver cells, help the repair and regeneration of liver cells, promote the activity of enzymes, and improve the detoxification ability of the liver.
