Silymarin, a flavonoid complex of Milk thistle, is the biologically active component. Silymarin is well known hepatoprotective agent. It is prepared with standardized extract of Milk Thistle fruits. Silymarin stimulates RNA polymerase-A, enhances protein synthesis and helps to regenerate and repair liver cell. It prevents toxic and foreign substances from penetrating into the liver cells by stabilizing the outer mem- brane of liver cells. Silymarin also acts by anti-lipid peroxidative, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, membrane stabilizing, immunomodulatory and liver regenerating mechanisms. Dl-alpha tocopherol acetate (Vitamin E) is a tocol which is one of the most potent anti- oxidant tocopherols. It exhibits antioxidant activity by virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus. Vitamin E has powerful antioxidant properties which can provide numerous benefits to the body, and may protect cells from oxidative damage.
