Milk Thistle & Ampelopsin for Liver Support
Milk Thistle & Ampelopsin: A Synergistic Approach to Liver Health
This advanced liver support formula combines the potent hepatoprotective properties of milk thistle with the unique benefits of ampelopsin (dihydromyricetin) from grape vine tea extract. Each capsule delivers a concentrated dose of 200mg milk thistle extract, providing a minimum of 160mg of the active compound silymarin. This is further enhanced by 300mg of ampelopsin, a naturally occurring compound known for its potential to support liver function and mitigate the effects of alcohol consumption. The addition of Vitamin B6 contributes to overall liver health and well-being.
Milk Thistle (Silymarin): A Proven Liver Protector
Milk thistle has been used for centuries to support liver health. Silymarin, its primary active component, is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect liver cells from damage caused by toxins and inflammation. It has been shown to support liver regeneration and improve liver function markers.
Ampelopsin (Dihydromyricetin): Liver Support & Alcohol Metabolism
Ampelopsin, also known as dihydromyricetin (DHM), is a flavonoid extracted from the leaves of the grape vine. It’s gaining recognition for its potential benefits in supporting liver health and mitigating the negative effects of alcohol consumption. Studies suggest ampelopsin may help to:
- Improve liver enzyme levels: Indicative of improved liver function.
- Reduce inflammation: Protecting liver cells from damage.
- Support healthy glucose and lipid metabolism: Crucial for overall liver health.
Supporting Research
While more extensive human research is needed, promising studies have explored the potential benefits of both Milk Thistle and Ampelopsin. One study involving 60 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) showed that dihydromyricetin improved glucose and lipid metabolism and exhibited potentially beneficial anti-inflammatory effects. Further research on animal models has highlighted the potential therapeutic applications of DHM in alcohol-related disorders.
Who Can Benefit?
This supplement may be beneficial for individuals looking to:
- Support overall liver health
- Protect their liver from the effects of alcohol consumption
