Milk Thistle and the Unique
Role of the Liver
The Liver has considerable responsibilities in maintaining the health of the
human body. It produces bile for the breakdown of food and breaks down excess
hormones like cholesterol and estrogen. It also metabolizes proteins, fats and
carbohydrates.
Perhaps none of the liver's responsibilities are more important than its role in
the neutralization of many toxic compounds which could potentially cause
catastrophic damage to our bodies.
Many of these compounds (oxidized fats, artificial preservatives and flavors)
are routinely ingested with our food and in detoxification puts it's cells at a
particular risk of damage or destruction
Because the liver plays such a vital role in maintaining health and is
continuously exposed to noxious compounds, it's protection is vital for the
achievement of optimal health.
Milk Thistle Extract has been shown to protect and improve the health and
functioning of the liver; supplementation with these herbs could have a
profoundly positive effect on general health.
Milk Thistle
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) contains a group of compounds known collectively
as silymarin. Silymarin has been shown in studies to be one of the most
effective liver-protective substances known to science.
Silymarin is a potent antioxidant. It is ten times stronger than Vitamin E (2.)
This antioxidant activity protects the liver and other parts of the body from
the harmful effects of free radicals, a group of toxic compounds which cause
cellular damage.
Silymarin also helps to protect the liver from free radicals by stimulating the
production of glutathione.(3.) Glutathione forms the basic foundation for
building several powerful anti-oxidant
enzymes. Like Vitamin E and silymarin itself, these enzymes convert highly toxic
free radicals into harmless compounds
