SILYTHIN D CAP

The mechanism of action of Silymarin in the Silymarin and Lecithin Capsule primarily involves its hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties. Silymarin, a complex of flavonoids, exerts its effects by inhibiting the entry of toxins and harmful substances into liver cells. It achieves this by stabilizing the cell membrane and preventing the absorption of toxic compounds. Additionally, Silymarin stimulates protein synthesis, which aids in liver tissue regeneration and repair. The presence of Lecithin in the capsule formulation enhances the absorption and bioavailability of Silymarin, ensuring its effective delivery to the liver. Lecithin itself possesses emulsifying properties, helping to disperse fats and supporting liver function by promoting the breakdown of lipids.
