annual herbaceous plant belonging to the family compound tuboliflore. It is found especially in central and southern Europe.
sought after by collectors for its excellent therapeutic qualities.
used as a stimulant of gastric, diuretic, febrifuge.
O Silybum marianum
contains a large quantity of complex of bioflavonoids (phytoestrogens) called flavonolignans, and include mainly silybin together isosilibina, deidrosilibina, silidianina, silicristina, etc. .. These phytoestrogens, like those in the other ingredients Wonderup, regulate female hormone production, the balance of which is essential for the general welfare of women.
Other characteristics and properties:
The thistle enjoyed a time of great respect in folk medicine, estimates that has been gradually fading out unnecessarily. The plant, in fact it is rich in therapeutic properties that make it particularly valuable in hepatic dysfunction.

Properties and medical use of flavonoglinani ( silymarin) from Sylubum marianum
[Properties and medical use of flavonolignans (Silymarin) from Silybum marianum] Phytotherapy Research (United Kingdom), 1996, 10/SUPPL. 1 (S25-S26)]
flavonolignans purified extracts from the fruits of the milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn., Syn. Marianus Carduus L.) mainly contain silymarin, a compound of isometric silibinina, ssosilibinina , and silicristina silidianina. Silymarin is used for the treatment of toxic liver damage (induced by alcohol, drugs or environmental toxins) and supportive therapy in inflammatory chronic liver and cirrhosis. Silymarin and its main isomers, the silibinina, have been shown to have antioxidant properties thus preventing oxidation of lipids and destruction of membranes in celular. In addition, biosynthesis of proteins and the regeneration of liver cells are damaged so accelerated, leading to the restoration of hepatic functions. A certain toxins from poisonous mushrooms denied access to liver cells by silibinina due to competitive inhibition of receptors on cell membranes. Intravenous treatment with a soluble derivative of silibinina is currently an important factor in life-saving standard of care of cases of poisoning by Amanita phalloides. Finally, it was recently shown that silymarin inhibits the production of lecotriene which explains its anti-inflammatory effect and its antibiotic action. Clinical tests confirm the beneficial effects found in experimental studies. Thus, silymarin is now documented not only the best substance for the treatment of liver extracts but also one of the most thoroughly researched and studied the mechanisms of action known.
and regenerating liver tonic * - helps with problems and swelling of the liver: alcohol liver disease from drug use, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, jaundice, sensitivity to chemicals, exposure to industrial toxins, detoxification programs. It protects the liver from poisoning by toxic mushrooms. Regenerates liver tissue damaged by hepatitis, cirrhosis, alcoholism, drugs and environmental toxins. It also helps against fatigue, depression and food allergies.
The thistle prevents free radical damage to liver cells, prevents the formation of leukotriene and stimulates the production of new liver cells (protein synthesis or protein production of cells), accelerating the regeneration process. The liver protects the body from toxic chemicals. The silibinina in milk thistle protects the liver from environmental toxins that enter the body through food, water, air and skin. The silibinina has no effect on the enzyme system of the liver, thus protecting the body from the harmful effects of drugs and pharmaceuticals from anesthesia without interfering with the action of drugs.
With all that the liver has to filter every day, it's no surprise that it can sometimes be overloaded. The milk thistle can help to rejuvenate it and also to protect it from future damage. Anyone who has had hepatitis, cirrhosis and high liver conditions should add the milk thistle as a supplement. In fact, would not hurt if everyone would take as a tonic herb regularly.
* antidote to poisoning - especially from a poisonous mushroom, Amanita falloide
The silibinina and other components of the complex were discovered as the benefits of silymarin in treating liver diseases in Germany several decades ago. A popular national pastime in Germany is mushroom collecting, a practice with inherent risks, such as Amanita phalloides. Consuming the Amanita falliode leads to severe and fatal liver damage solute (destroys cells) - in fact, those who survive the poisoning by Amanita falloide are so damaged which often require liver transplants to survive.
Miraculously, Silymarin binds to liver cells by preventing the fungus poisons to bind themselves, thus blocking their poisonous effect. Silymarin is also able to directly neutralize the poison itself, making it effective even if taken after the mushroom poison has been ingested. The extract of milk thistle, for this reason, it is required to hand in German hospitals where it is administered in an emergency to treat poisoning by Amanita falloide also fatal.
* cholagogue - affects liver and systems detoxification due to its ability to stimulate the emptying of the gallbladder and the flow of bile into the duodenum.
* acts as an antioxidant, with control of free radical damage much greater than vitamin E.
The silybin, which is found in milk thistle, stimulates the activity of the enzyme Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD), which acts as a scavenger of free radicals far more powerful than Vitamin E. In the presence of silibinina less glutathione, an enzyme that reduces oxidation, is used in tissues, resulting in a minor decrease of gluthatione. Glutathione reduces the activity of free radicals, not only in the liver, but throughout the body. The milk thistle inhibits the enzyme lipoxigenase preventing the formation of leukotrienes, compounds that are responsible for inflammation.
* galactogogue - stimulates milk production in lactating mothers

Precautions
may have a mild laxative effect due the stimulation of the gallbladder, but this effect lasts only two or three days and then disappears.
