Hepamarin-140 Capsule: Each capsule contains Silymarin 140 mg extracted from Milk Thistle fruits.

Description

Silymarin possesses hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity. The hepatoprotective effect is due to the stimulation of synthesis of structural and functional proteins and phospholipids, as well as the acceleration of the regeneration of hepatocytes. The antioxidant effect is determined by bioflavonoids' interaction with free radicals in the liver and its detoxication. In such a manner, the process of peroxidation of the lipids is interrupted and further liver destruction is prevented. Clinically, these effects are manifested by improving the signs and symptoms and normalization of the liver variables (serum level of transaminases, gamma-globulins and bilirubin).
