Product Information

• Name: Silybin ( of silybin A and silybin B)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Silybin, also known as silybin A and silybin B, is a natural compound that is found in the seeds of the milk thistle plant. It is used to treat a variety of diseases, including metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. Silybin has been shown to act as an antioxidant by preventing the oxidation of lipids and other molecules in cells. It may also have angiogenic properties by controlling the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nitric oxide synthase. Silybin has been shown to inhibit tumor cell viability in vitro and in vivo models. This effect seems to be due to its ability to increase mitochondrial membrane potential and reduce cytosolic calcium concentrations. The primary cells that have been used for these experiments are liver cells from rats or mice. Silybin also inhibits angiogenic process by decreasing VEGF levels while increasing endostatin levels.
