Bio-Milk Thistle is a natural health supplement that is used to support liver function. In addition, Bio-Milk Thistle may help to relieve digestive disturbances or indigestion, including discomfort following overindulgence.
The active components in milk thistle extracts are a group of chemical compounds collectively known as silymarin. Silybin is considered one of the most active constituents of silymarin. Silymarin and silybin are antioxidants, which protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are toxic by-products of oxygen metabolism in living cells. These free radicals can cause significant damage to living tissues when produced in quantities that exceed the body s neutralising mechanisms. Stress, medicines, injury, alcohol consumption, and infections can all lead to increased generation of free radicals.
In summary, silymarin:
– Is a free radical scavenger that protects cell membranes from damage caused by toxins and oxidative stress
– Increases total antioxidant capacity by increasing the levels of intracellular antioxidants, namely glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD)
– Helps the liver to recover from injury
– Has anti-inflammatory properties
– Protects against scar tissue formation
