How Silymarin + Tricholine Citrate works
Silymarin, an active component derived from milk thistle extract, has several protective effects on the liver. It acts as an antioxidant by scavenging harmful free radicals and increasing glutathione, a substance that helps in detoxification. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that inhibit inflammatory mediators in the liver, and antifibrotic properties that help prevent the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue in the liver. Additionally, silymarin promotes liver regeneration by stimulating protein synthesis and liver cell proliferation, and it inhibits the binding of toxins to liver cell membrane receptors.
Tricholine citrate provides choline, a crucial nutrient for the liver. Choline is incorporated into cell membranes and acts as a precursor for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This supports liver function, lipid metabolism and cell signalling. Thus, these combined actions help maintain and improve liver health and function.
