Products Description

Milk Thistle Extract Silymarin Powder specifically silymarin powder, is derived from the seeds of the milk thistle plant (Silybum marianum). Silymarin is a flavonoid complex that is the active ingredient in milk thistle extract and is known for its potential liver-protective properties.

Silymarin is believed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and liver-regenerating effects. It may help protect the liver from toxins and promote the growth of new liver cells. This makes milk thistle extract a popular natural remedy for various liver conditions, including liver damage, hepatitis, and cirrhosis.

benefits

1. Scavenging reactive oxygen species

It can directly scavenge reactive oxygen species, combat lipid peroxidation, and maintain the fluidity of cell membrane.

2. Hepatoprotective effect

Silymarin has a protective effect on liver damage caused by carbon tetrachloride, galactosamine, alcohols and other hepatotoxins.

3. Antitumor effect

Various reactive oxygen species can oxidize guanine to form 8-carboxyguanine, causing DNA damage, and then causing tumors. The application of antioxidants, especially free radical scavengers, can prevent this process.

4. Anti cardiovascular effects

Ksoottva et al studied the effect of silymarin extract on the oxidation of high cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein in mice. Mice were fed with polyunsaturated fatty acids containing silymarin extract and a small amount of saturated fatty acids. Compared with mice fed with polyunsaturated fatty acids and a small amount of saturated fatty acids, the cholesterol content in serum of the former was significantly reduced, VLDL hair was reduced, and HDL-C was increased, It indicated that silymarin improved the ability of anti LDL.

5. Protective effect of cerebral ischemia injury

Feng Quan et al used the four vessel occlusion method to establish a rat model of global cerebral ischemia to explore the mechanism of silymarin's protective effect on cerebral ischemic injury. By observing the expression of nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase in brain homogenate, they showed that silymarin significantly reduced the content of no and NOS in brain tissue of ischemic rats, while significantly reducing the infarct size. Therefore, it is concluded that silymarin can improve the antioxidant capacity of the body and has a significant protective effect on cerebral ischemia injury.
