Super Milk Thistle X 120 vcaps

1. Milk Thistle Seed Extract (254 mg)

• Primary Role: Master Hepatoprotection & Cell Regeneration
• Liver Cell Shielding: Silybin is the most biologically active component of silymarin. It stabilizes liver cell (hepatocyte) membranes, preventing toxins, alcohol, and heavy metals from entering liver tissue.
• Glutathione Preservation: Preserves and boosts intracellular levels of glutathione—the liver’s primary internal antioxidant—protecting liver cells from oxidative stress during Phase I and Phase II detoxification.
• Tissue Repair: Stimulates nucleolar polymerase A, promoting RNA synthesis to accelerate the repair and regeneration of damaged liver tissue.

2. Artichoke Leaf Extract (40 mg)

• Primary Role: Choleretic (Bile Production) & Fat Digestion
• Stimulates Bile Flow: Caffeoylquinic acids directly stimulate hepatocytes to produce and secrete thin, healthy bile. Enhanced bile flow is critical for emulsifying dietary fats, absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), and clearing waste products from the liver.
• Lipid Regulation: Inhibits excess cholesterol synthesis in the liver and helps maintain healthy blood lipid and triglyceride levels.
• Relieves Dyspepsia: Improves upper GI motility, reducing symptoms of abdominal bloating, early fullness, and indigestion following fat-heavy meals.

3. Dandelion Root Extract (10 mg)

• Primary Role: Cholagogue (Bile Elimination) & Mild Lymphatic/Renal Support
• Gallbladder Contraction: While artichoke increases bile production, dandelion root acts as a cholagogue, encouraging the gallbladder to contract and flush bile into the small intestine, preventing biliary stasis (sluggish bile).
• Gentle Digestive Bitter: Stimulates bitter taste receptors in the mouth and gut, triggering the release of digestive enzymes, stomach acid, and salivary secretions to prepare the GI tract for food.
• Mild Fluid Balance: Supports natural fluid excretion and liver detoxification pathways without depleting essential minerals like potassium.

4. Licorice Root/Rhizome Extract (10 mg)

• Primary Role: Anti-Inflammatory & Mucosal Defense
• Gastric & Intestinal Lining Protection: Glycyrrhizic acid inhibits enzymes that break down protective prostaglandins in the stomach, promoting mucus production to protect against stomach acid, bile reflux, and mucosal irritation.
• Synergistic Liver Support: Helps downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines in liver tissue, supporting the liver when processing inflammatory metabolites.
• Adrenal & Cortisol Modulation: Helps regulate the body's cortisol response, buffering the GI tract against stress-induced mucosal breakdown.
