Milk Thistle (ex Siliphos) 90 caps - Thorne

Siliphos Thorne 90caps is a well-absorbed and well-researched form of Milk Thistle that provides liver support.

Siliphos combines a milk thistle flavonoid (silybin) with phospholipids to form a well-absorbed complex. It offers liver-protective benefits and helps maintain normal glutathione levels.

Milk thistle contains several constituents with strong antioxidant activity that can protect liver cells from free radical damage, strengthen liver cell membranes, and help maintain the liver's antioxidant system—glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD). In numerous studies, milk thistle's constituent silybin—the most active flavonoid in milk thistle—has been shown to prevent liver cell damage caused by carbon tetrachloride, ethanol, paracetamol, mushroom toxins, and benzopyrene from automobile exhaust. Silifos Thorne provides the benefits of silybin and phosphatidylcholine in a single bioavailable compound. These ingredients likely provide the synergistic benefit of sparing liver cells from degradation. Studies indicate that this silybin-phosphatidylcholine complex provides superior absorption compared to conventional milk thistle products.

Silybin, normally a water-soluble flavonoid, is converted into a lipid-soluble compound by complexing it with phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, to form a phytosome. The phytosome preparation allows for better absorption of this liver-protective flavonoid into liver cell membranes.

Silybin has been shown to help maintain the liver's normal inflammatory response when exposed to toxic compounds. Of the three flavonoids that make up silymarin, silybin predominates and is the most biologically active.

Phosphatidylcholine is not only a passive "carrier" for the active flavonoid silybin, but is itself an active ingredient with documented efficacy in promoting liver health. Silybin protects the liver due to its significant antioxidant activity, while phosphatidylcholine helps repair and replace liver cell membranes.
