Composition:
1 capsule contains 314.5-339.4 mg of dry extract from milk thistle.
Action:
Silymarin acts as a stabilizer of cell membranes, thanks to which it protects liver cells from the harmful effects of toxic factors and promotes the regeneration of these cells. It has antioxidant properties, thanks to which it prevents the pathophysiological process of lipid oxidation, responsible for the destruction of cell membranes. In addition, in liver cells that have been damaged, it stimulates protein synthesis and stabilizes the metabolism of phospholipids. It limits the deficiency of transaminases in hepatocytes, which leads to stabilization of cell membranes and seals hepatocytes, limiting the access of toxic substances to them. The main component of silymarin - silybin is excreted primarily in the bile, it reaches a small concentration in the blood, elimination by the kidneys is slight.
