- Silymarin supports liver health and functions. It supports the production of new liver cells and the protection of existing cells from toxins and free radicals. In liver disorders like liver cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis, formation of new liver cells aids in controlling symptoms and speed up healing. Silymarin also assists the liver in its detoxification processes, eliminating harmful toxins, microorganisms, and other substances before they can circulate in the system and cause damage.
- Silymarin protects the liver from the dangerous effects of liver-toxic medications. Acetaminophen, Salicylates, antibacterials, and TB drugs require hard work from the liver before they are eliminated in the body. This increase in work load compromises liver health, ranging from mild changes in liver function tests to serious cases like liver failure. Scientists observed that during the course of treatment, silymarin has been found to reduce the risk for liver damage.
- Milk thistle stimulates healthy immune responses against infections. In a study published in 2002, researchers found that the milk thistle herb produces immunestimulatory effects that heighten response to disease-causing bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Milk thistle’s immune support can be very useful during hay season, winter, and flu seasons.
- Silymarin help regulate blood sugar levels in people with chronic liver damage. Insulin resistant diabetes can occur due to chronic liver damage because the liver is not able to respond properly to insulin. Clinical studies found that silymarin strengthens the liver in these patients, allowing it to handle more insulin for transport of glucose and fatty acids to cells.
