4 { i ; - 7 NR) Se Supreme Antioxidant Power The main bioactive compound in milk thistle responsible for its health benefits is silymarin, a complex of flavonoid compounds that include silybin, silychristin, and isosilycristin, among others (for simplicity, we will just call it silymarin). These compounds—primarily found in the seeds—have significant antioxidant activity, which is where milk thistle really shines. Indeed, it is its antioxidant power that researchers recognize as the key to milk thistle’s health benefits, in everything from liver and metabolic health to brain and joint health. Specifically, silymarin has been shown to increase levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase, powerful enzymes that play a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS). It has also been found to significantly reduce markers of lipid (Fat) oxidation in the cells. In simple terms, silymarin enhances whole-body antioxidant defenses and reduces the oxidation of cells. Why is antioxidant protection so important? Free radicals, like ROS, damage cellular membranes, interfering with their proper functioning; an excessive amount of oxidative damage is the underlying cause of a number of chronic diseases and health issues. Antioxidants protect cells from damage, keeping them healthy and functioning as they should. La Pr Health Hotline’
