Mega Silymarin with Isosilybin B
100 capsules
Item Catalog Number: 00702

The liver is a large glandular organ, whose functions include storage and filtration of blood, secretion of bile, detoxification of various substances, and conversion of sugars into glycogen, which it stores. The liver is also responsible for processing many vitamins and nutrients into a form that can be utilized by the body, and processing many toxic chemicals for elimination.

Modern living involves daily exposure to substances that are toxic to our bodies, which imposes a heavy load on the liver. Therefore, a healthy liver is critical to well-being. Certain lifestyle risks and medical conditions make it all the more important to ensure that the liver is being maintained at its functional best.

In Europe and Asia, herbal liver tonics have been in common use for centuries. The effectiveness of the herbs used has been validated during the past decades through modern research and clinical studies. These herbs generally contain antioxidants, cell membrane stabilizing agents, bile secretion enhancing compounds, or nutrients that prevent depletion of endogenous antioxidants such as glutathione. Hepato-protection is beneficial not only for the liver, but for the overall health and vitality of our body.

Milk thistle extract has long been valued for its role in ensuring healthy liver function.* Milk thistle extract consists of silibinin and other similar compounds. Until recently, researchers believed that silibinin was the most biologically active ingredient found in milk thistle extract. Highly advanced extraction technology has now enabled scientists to isolate silymarin constituents and to test their efficacy against various cell lines. Among the compounds tested, a silymarin constituent called isosilybin B proved to be the most efficient in maintaining healthy cell division.1,2

Mega Silymarin with Isosilybin B contains standardized, top-grade potencies of silymarin, silibinin and isosilybin B—providing the full spectrum of milk thistle’s liver and prostate protective compounds.*
