Milk Thistle Powder Extract-Support Your Health

Recently, researchers in a new study have called for a new gold standard in research to treat a condition called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a chronic liver disease linked to obesity that is estimated to impact millions of people of all ages worldwide, and if not addressed can progress to liver cancer.

Boeckmans, et al. “Human-based systems: Mechanistic NASH modelling just around the corner?” Pharmacological Research, 2018; 134: 257 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2018.06.029

In another study on the constituents of milk thistle (silymarin and silybin), the authors write, “… silymarin/silybin use has important biological effects in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. These substances antagonize the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, by intervening in various therapeutic targets: oxidative stress, insulin resistance, liver fat accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction.”
