Milk Thistle Extract Plus Liver
Support Herb
Milk Thistle and the Unique Role of the Liver
The Liver has considerable responsibilities in maintaining the health of
the human body. It produces bile for the breakdown of food and breaks
down excess hormones like cholesterol and estrogen. It also metabolizes
proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Perhaps none of the liver's responsibilities are more important than its
role in the neutralization of many toxic compounds which could
potentially cause catastrophic damage to our bodies.
Many of these compounds (oxidized fats, artificial preservatives and
flavors) are routinely ingested with our food and in detoxification puts
it's cells at a particular risk of damage or destruction
Milk Thistle Extract, Artichoke and Tumeric Support Optimal
Liver Health
Because the liver plays such a vital role in maintaining health and is
continuously exposed to noxious compounds, it's protection is vital for
the achievement of optimal health.
Milk Thistle Extract, artichoke and tumeric extracts have all been shown
to protect and improve the health and functioning of the liver;
supplementation with these herbs could have a profoundly positive effect
on general health.
Milk Thistle
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) contains a group of compounds known
collectively as silymarin. Silymarin has been shown in studies to be one
of the most effective liver-protective substances known to science.(1.)
Silymarin is a potent antioxidant. It is ten times stronger than Vitamin
E (2.) This antioxidant activity protects the liver and other parts of
the body from the harmful effects of free radicals, a group of toxic
compounds which cause cellular damage.
Silymarin also helps to protect the liver from free radicals by
stimulating the production of glutathione.(3.) Glutathione forms the
basic foundation for building several powerful antioxydant
enzymes. Like Vitamin E and silymarin itself, these enzymes convert
highly toxic free radicals into harmless compounds
