What is milk thistle?
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a plant native to the Mediterranean region and has been known for its medicinal properties since ancient times. The plant is characterized by large, spiny leaves and purple flowers. The most valuable part of milk thistle is its seeds, which contain an active compound called silymarin. Silymarin is a complex of flavonoids that play a key role in liver health and have strong antioxidant properties.
Chemical composition and action
Silymarin, the main active component of milk thistle, consists of three main flavonoid compounds: silybin, silydianin, and silychristin. These compounds are characterized by powerful antioxidant properties that help protect cells from oxidative stress and free radicals.
● Silybin: The most active and studied ingredient of silymarin, which has the ability to stimulate the synthesis of new liver cells and improve liver regeneration.
● Silidianin: Helps stabilize the cell membrane and prevents liver cell destruction.
● Silychristin: Has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that contribute to overall liver health.
Effects of using the supplement
Liver support
Milk thistle is known for its beneficial effects on the liver. Silymarin, the active compound in the plant, helps protect and maintain normal liver function. It supports the regeneration processes of liver cells, which can be especially beneficial for people exposed to liver stressors such as alcohol, medications, or toxins.
Antioxidant protection
Milk thistle extract has strong antioxidant properties due to its flavonoid content. Silymarin neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress in the body, which can help prevent cellular damage and aging. This antioxidant protection is important for maintaining overall health and well-being.
Assisting with detoxification
Milk thistle supplementation is effective in supporting the body’s detoxification processes. The liver plays a key role in eliminating toxins and harmful substances from the body, and silymarin supports this process by stimulating liver function and speeding up the metabolism of toxins. This can help improve overall health and energy levels.
Anti-inflammatory effect
Milk thistle compounds exhibit anti-inflammatory properties that work to reduce inflammation in the liver and other parts of the body. Silymarin inhibits inflammatory molecules and enzymes, which is beneficial for alleviating inflammatory conditions and improving overall liver health.
