Hepatoprotective Effect
• It can prevent liver damage by acting as a free radical scavenger and antioxidant. Silymarin, its main active ingredient, inhibits lipid peroxidation in liver cells, reducing oxidative stress and protecting cell membranes from damage.
• It also blocks the entry of toxins into liver cells and stimulates the regeneration of damaged liver cells, promoting liver tissue repair and maintaining liver function.
Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant
• The flavonolignans in milk thistle capsules have anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce the production of inflammatory mediators in the liver and body, alleviating inflammation and associated symptoms.
• They also have strong antioxidant activity, scavenging free radicals and reactive oxygen species, protecting cells and tissues from oxidative damage and reducing the risk of chronic diseases related to oxidative stress.
Cholagogue and Cholesterol-Lowering
