This plant-based ingredient contains antioxidants, agents that stabilize cell membranes, agents that promote bile secretion, and nutrients that help prevent the depletion of endogenous antioxidants such as glutathione. Glutathione is a tripeptide found in high concentrations in the liver. It binds to heavy metals and solvents and converts them into a form that can be eliminated through urine or bile.
The protection it provides benefits not only the liver itself but also the health and well-being of the entire body. Silymarin extract is widely known for its powerful antioxidant properties and its ability to protect the liver.
In addition, research studies suggest that Silymarin extract protects against melanoma and reduces the risk of its spread when used alongside other treatments, whether surgical or non-surgical. It is also recommended for the treatment of psoriasis, as the overproduction of leukotrienes causes inflammation.
