Vitals Milk Thistle with Silybum Marianum Extract Phytosome ® and Dandelion Root Powder 60 Capsules

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is an herb that enjoys a very good reputation, especially for supporting liver function and sugar metabolism.* The name "milk thistle" comes from the legend that the white spots on the leaves come from the milk of the Virgin Mary. For milk thistle supplements, the seeds (fruits) are usually used for extraction. The black fruit wall contains flavonolignans (including silymarin, the main component of which is silybin), flavonoids and phenol derivatives. Silybin is the main active ingredient. Vitals' Milk Thistle PS contains the branded active ingredient Siliphos®, a milk thistle extract standardized to silybin, the bioavailability of which is greatly improved by the combination with phosphatidylcholine (Phytosome® technology).

Milk thistle extract (silybin) supports liver function in two ways. It helps maintain the structure of the outer cell membrane of the liver cells and prevents unwanted substances from penetrating the interior of the cells. In addition, by influencing specific enzymes, it contributes to the ability to regenerate and to the formation of new liver cells.*

In addition, milk thistle can help maintain normal and stable blood sugar levels by supporting sugar metabolism.*
