Phytopet Milk Thistle For Liver & Gall Bladder Support - 100ml

Description

Silymarin, also called Milk Thistle, is a highly regarded nutritional supplement used to treat a variety of liver conditions, diseases, and toxicities in cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, horses, and other companion animals. It is believed that it may also have some efficacy in preventing certain cancers, preventing chemotherapy side effects, and in protecting the kidneys.

Limited studies in animals have been performed but there is anecdotal evidence that silymarin works to treat liver disease by inhibiting cell-damaging enzymes and by providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

In studies Silymarin has been shown to aid glutathione production in the liver by around 30%. Glutathione is used by the body to make peroxidase one of the body's most potent free radical fighting enzymes, thus aiding detoxification significantly.
