About FB Nutrition's Healthy Liver (Milk Thistle)
Milk thistle is a tall herb with large purple flowers and small hard seed fruits with medicinal properties. The main active ingredient in milk thistle is silymarin which is both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The seeds make the concentrated silymarin that contains 65-80% flavonolignans, flavonoids and fatty acids which positively affects our metabolism. Being antioxidant in nature, silymarin scavenges free radicals, inhibits enzymes allowing free radical formation.

L-methionine, an essential amino acid is also present in FB nutrition’s healthy liver. L-methionine is a powerful antioxidant and scavenges free radicals and slower the ageing process. Methionine is responsible for collagen formation resulting in improved skin, hair and nails condition. Also, it acts as building blocks for L-carnitine, adrenaline, choline and melatonin. In addition, methionine reduces histamine levels in body contributing to reduction in allergies. L-methionine contains Sulphur, thus acidifies the urine. This property of L-methionine has many benefits like: -
- Optimization of antibiotics like ampicillin
- Prevent kidney stone formation
- Inhibit bacterial growth during cystitis
- Protects the body from toxic substances
Deficiency of L-methionine results in edema i.e. fluid retention, susceptibility to infections, arteriosclerosis and hair loss. Thus, it is mandatory to have 13 mg per kg body weight of histamine on a daily basis. Sources of histamine include beef, fish, poultry, eggs, brazil nuts and sesame seeds.
