Wissenswertes über "Silymarin"
Silymarin is a flavonolignan complex extracted from the seeds of the milk thistle (Silybum marianum).
Silymarin is one of the most researched herbal compounds for supporting liver function and is used both in herbal medicine and evidence-based therapy. Its effects are mainly due to antioxidant and cell-protective actions: Silymarin scavenges free radicals, stabilizes cell membranes, and promotes liver cell regeneration. It can also stimulate protein synthesis and enhance glutathione production, boosting the liver’s detox capacity.
Studies have investigated Silymarin in fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and as an adjunct treatment for drug-induced hepatotoxicity. There is also evidence suggesting benefits in oxidative stress and metabolic syndrome.
