Additional Information:
Milk Thistle may act as a hepatoprotective to help maintain healthy liver function.
Milk Thistle contains Silymarin, which has illustrated hepatoprotective properties; demonstrating increases in the redox state and total glutathione content of the liver.
Silymarin protects the liver by altering the structure of the hepatocyte cell membrane, by being incorporated into the hydrophobic-hydrophilic interface of the microsomal bilayer.
Milk Thistle has also been used to assist bile production and detoxification in traditional Western herbal medicine.
Silymarin found in Milk Thistle has been shown to stimulate bile salt excretion by expanding the endogenous bile salt pool.
Silymarin inhibits beta-glucuronidase; an enzyme that removes glucuronic acid from the conjugated substance before elimination, during phase II detoxification pathway.
Silymarin is also an inhibitor of phase I detoxification.
