How It Works
Silymarin is a flavonoid which contains both antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties. It effectively reduces the oxidative cellular damage of liver by inhibiting the generation of free radicals that are produced from the metabolism of toxic substances such as ethanol and carbon tetrachloride. It also enhances the regeneration of hepatocytes by stimulating the activity of an enzyme called RNA polymerase I and provides relief from various chronic inflammatory diseases of the liver. As a result, the overall functional capacity of liver is increased, which leads to an improvement in digestion, appetite and body weight.
