Milk Thistle Benefits & Information
The active ingredient, or liver-protecting compound in milk thistle is known as silymarin. This substance, which actually consists of a group of compounds called flavonolignands, helps repair liver cells damaged by alcohol and other toxic substances by stimulating protein synthesis. By changing the outside layer of liver cells, it also prevents certain toxins from getting inside. Silymarin also...
متن کاملMilk Thistle (Silybum marianum)
Milk thistle is a well known and commonly used herb, used particularly in hepatic diseases. It has very potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic properties (1). As a single agent its therapeutic effects in liver disease appear to be modest (2,3,4,5). Herbal medicines and supplements are likely to be much more beneficial when used synergistically in combinations or formulas. Milk ...
متن کاملInfluence of Plant Growth Regulators on Callus Induction, Silymarin Production and Antioxidant Activity in Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum L. Gaertn.) under Tissue Culture Medium
The Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. is the dicotyledonous herbs of the Asteraceae family that is important in medical industry. The biological active compound of S. marianum is a mixture of several flavonolignals generally known as silymarin. The purpose of this study was to optimize S. marianum tissue culture for callus induction, silymarin production and comparison of some biochemical traits be...
متن کاملMilk-clotting Enzymes from Microorganisms.
A total of 230 cultures of fungi and 43 cultures of bacteria, isolated from such sources as soil, butter, and milk, were screened for their milk-clotting activity. The fungi were cultivated on semisolid media, and the bacteria were grown in milk media in shake culture. Phytic acid, added as calcium phytate, was found to stimulate production of the enzyme in most of the bacterial isolates. Prote...
متن کاملMilk Thistle and the Liver: Recent Findings
The standardized extract contains flavonolignans, collectively referred to as silymarin. Sometimes the extract itself is called “silymarin”, which can lead to confusion over dosage since the level of flavonolignans (silymarin) in the extract is typically 60 to 80%, depending on the test methodology used. The main flavonolignans found in the extract are silybin (silibin), silychristin, silydiani...
