Overview

It is used for liver health. It comprises of Silymarin which has strong ant oxidative and ant fibrotic properties which make it a potentially useful drug for treatment of chronic liver diseases. The B Vitamins in the supplement helps in boosting metabolism and used as a liver-protecting agent. They protect the health of our liver in several ways. It's a special type of lipid that prevents fats from accumulating in the liver. Plus lecithin is an important source of the nutrient choline, which has a vital role in liver function. Similarly, Vitamin E and Selenium plays an important role in the normal function of many of the organs and systems of the human body. Due to its contribution to the production of glutathione peroxidase, selenium acts to protect the liver from free radical damage and preserve its elasticity and detoxifying capabilities. NAC restores normal liver levels of glutathione and helps to heal the liver problems.

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

Silymarine:

Silymarin is a uniqu e flavonoid complex-containing silybin,silydianin & silychrisin-that is derived from the milk thistle plant.It is a powerful antioxidant and also enhances protein synthesis by acting on ribosomal RNA, which not only have a positive effect on digestive function but also on the general condition of the patient.Apart from this, other antioxidants included in this combination are Vitamin E,Vitamin C, Vitamin A,Selinium, Zinc,are present in suitable amounts. This Combination provides protection against the free oxygen radicals, the main cause of damage to hepatocytes content & function in different types of liver injury.

N- acetyl cysteine:

Acetylcysteine has also been ad ded, which is a precursor to glutathione, the most important intra & extra-cellular antioxidant (the safest & most convienient). Acetylcysteine has the ability to enter the liver cells to yeild glutathione compensating for the depleted reserve due to liver cell injury & thus performing its role in quenching & scavenging the harmful oxygen radicals.

L-glutathione:

L-Glutathione is an antioxidant that our body produces from three basic amino acids that are found in our food. Our body makes it and uses it, along with the other vitamins that we ingest, as a hard line defense against all of the hazards that cause us to grow sick and old. This is important because research into this specific anti-oxidant has shown that it can actually cure disease, regenerate damaged tissue, minimize the side effects of chemotherapy, and treat cataracts.

L-carnitine:

L-carnitine, or carnit ine, is a nutrient present in most cells of the body that plays a crucial role in cellular energy production by transporting fatty acids into cells to be burned for energy. L-carnitine is produced in the liver and kidneys and can be found in higher concentrations in active body cells and tissues, such as skeletal muscles, the heart and the brain. L-carnitine helps to reduce oxidative stress and has been used as an adjunct therapy, meaning it is used in addition to other medical treatments. Conditions treated with carnitine include: angina, heart failure, Alzheimer's disease, kidney disease, male Infertility, chronic fatigue syndrome and hyperthyroidism.

L-ornithine:

L-Ornithine is a non protein amino acid. It is used in the body in the biosynthesis of L-arginine, L-proline and polyamines. L-Ornithine is a basic amino acid, positively charged at physiological pH. It is also known as alpha,delta-diaminovaleric acid and 2,5-diaminopentanoic acid. L-Ornithine has putative anabolic, immunomodulatory and wound-healing activities.

Inositol:

Inositol does best is helping to keep the liver clean. Loving your liver means living longer, healthier, and skinnier! Inositol helps to regulate what goes in and what comes out. It doesn’t allow bile to sit idle and it certainly evicts fat molecules on their way out. By allowing this compound to do its job, you can reduce risks of liver dysfunction, fatty liver disease, and liver failure.

When the liver gets clogged with gunk, your hormones are out of balance, slow, and ineffective. The same way you can gain weight, get flabby, and feel sluggish, your liver can too. You only have one liver, so give it the tools it needs to stay clean, healthy, and free of layers of fat!

B-complex vitamins:

This includes the likes of most of the B-vitamins, which is involved in the production of the amino acid methionine, which in turn is converted into a compound known as Same used in the treatment of liver disease. B12 is believed to be the only water-soluble vitamin that can be stored in the liver.

Pregnant And Lactating:

Although this supplement is safe to use but it should be taken under the supervision of the dietitian.
