Structure and chemical composition


source

I will not bother you with a chemical formulas.
Just important!
The most important biologically active groups of compounds include: flavonoglycans, flavonoids and fatty oils.
Flavonoglycanes consist of flavonoids taxophilic and a variety of related alcohols.
Their specific complex is known as silimarin.

Silimarin gained world glory in his role,

in the preservation of liver health.

What is liver?

Everybody knows this, but it's so important that I have to repeat it.
The liver is the largest internal organ, in the adult man weighing about 1.2-1.5 kg.

Liver function

Metabolism


source

Livers cells - hepatocytes have a multitude of metabolic functions.

All hepatocytes are involved in metabolisme protein, fat, carbohydrates, gall bladder, bilirubin, bile acids, vitamins, minerals and some hormones.

Detox


source

Particularly important is the role of the liver in biotransformation, ie the transformation of foreign substances - drugs and poisons - into forms that are harmless to the organism.
They can be chemically transformed in less toxic substances into the liver, or transformed into substances that are more soluble in water and can be easily excreted from the body via the kidneys or bile.
The liver plays a very important role in the degradation of alcohol.
It metabolizes about 90% of the intake of alcohol while the rest is excreted in the lungs and kidneys However.

The process of biotransformation of alcohols, drugs and other toxins leaves consequences on the liver.

During the process, in most cases, toxic metabolites, mostly free radicals are produced that are extremely
reactive and quickly cause lipid peroxidation, most often lipid cell membranes,
causing liver cell damage and loss.

With overproduction of harmful substances, unhealthy diet, alcohol, drugs - over the years, the liver function is slowly impaired.

How to know something is wrong?

Blood tests


source

or short test!

Do I live stressful?
I use unhealthy food?
Do I drink?
Do I smoke?
Do I use drugs?

If is most of the answers "yes",

are best, go to the nearest pharmacy and get the silimarin.

source

How is silimarin used?

Tea, tincture, tablets and capsules.

It is the Simplest to seek advice from a pharmacist.

How does silimarin work?

  1. Silimarin increases the level of glutathione in the liver by 35%. Glutathione is the most important antioxidant to
    protect the liver, and its level falls if we are exposed to high levels of toxins on a daily basis.

  2. It works against numerous liver toxins.

  3. Accelerates cell renewal after damage.

  4. Reduces the level of bad cholesterol.

  5. It stimulates secretion bile and helps with gall bladder problems.

  6. Helps in acute and chronic poisoning, and snake bites.

  7. Strengthens blood vessels.

  8. Helps to recover from chemotherapy.

  9. It acts as an estrogen and promotes milk excretion in breastfeeding.

  10. It helps with the use of greasy and unhealthy foods.

  11. Proven cure for hangover.

  12. It strengthens weakened immunity

13.Studies have shown that silimarine plays a very important role in regulating blood sugar levels.

14.The only cure for Amanita phalloides.


source

Green phalloides is one of the most deadly fungus in the world because it contains poisons that destroy the liver it is deadly in small quantities.
In the literature it is mentioned that an adult can only kill 50 grams of fresh green phallodies!
The poison can not be destroyed either by drying or by cooking or by exposure to high temperatures, and by the same age preserves the same mortality. It grows in white-forested forests from spring to late autumn.
Habitat: Europe, West Asia and North Africa.

What to say for the end??

Health is the most important thing in the world. You must be responsible.
We are what we eat. Everyone decides what to put into themselves.. And the consequences are his.
Nutrition has drastically changed.
If we do not eat naturally, we do not know what we eat.
Processed food is a mixture of everything
(flavor enhancers, dyes, preservatives and other chemicals).
The liver is confused.
The liver needs time to learn how to clean new chemicals.

She needs help.

One question

And liver and silimarin are the work of a top artist (both appearance and function).

Who is a designer?

Namaste :)

Have been using this and other herbs for the liver for years. I also love the effect of yellow dock, which seems to clear the skin instantly.

In fact, all solutions are around us.
