SILYBON FORTE TAB

About

SILYBON FORTE TAB contains Silymarin, a complex of flavonolignans extracted from the milk thistle plant (Silybum marianum). Silymarin is widely recognized for its hepatoprotective properties, acting through several mechanisms. It exhibits potent antioxidant activity, scavenging free radicals and reducing lipid peroxidation, thereby protecting liver cells from oxidative damage. It also stabilizes hepatocyte membranes, inhibits the entry of toxins, and stimulates protein synthesis, which aids in the regeneration of damaged liver cells. Furthermore, silymarin possesses anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties, helping to mitigate liver inflammation and fibrosis. It is commonly used as an adjuvant therapy in various liver disorders, such as alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and chronic hepatitis, to support liver function and promote recovery.
