S.A.T

A combination of three liver-protecting botanicals, formulated for optimal absorption. ASSIS (Silymarin, Artichoke, Turmeric) is a liver-protecting formula that provides curcumin and milk thistle extracts in well-absorbed phytosome form. Artichoke supports fatty liver disease. For centuries, Asian cultures have benefited from the beneficial effects of curcumin, the orange pigment in turmeric (the main ingredient in curry). Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that offers numerous health benefits, including supporting joint, liver, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular function by helping to maintain the body's normal inflammatory response through the optimization of cytokine production. Cytokines play an important role in the body's natural immune response to inflammation, infection, and trauma. Curcumin's hepatoprotective activity is likely due to its strong antioxidant activity and its potential to maintain the body's normal inflammatory response in the liver. Whether taken as a supplement or obtained from food, curcumin is normally poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. Using a unique curcumin formula based on Indena S.p.A.'s proprietary "phytosome" technology, an extracted curcumin/phospholipid complex is significantly better absorbed than standalone curcumin extracts. Because phospholipids are essential components of human cells, phospholipids obtained from food or nutritional supplements are very well absorbed. Three flavonoids include silymarin. Of the three, silybin predominates and is the most biologically active. Siliphos' phytosome offers the benefits of both silybin and phospholipids in a single compound. Silybin is a naturally occurring water-soluble flavonoid, but it is made lipid-friendly by being complexed with phospholipids. As a result, the phytosome preparation allows for better incorporation of this liver-protecting flavonoid into liver cell membranes. Studies indicate that this silybin-phospholipid complex offers superior absorption compared to conventional milk thistle products.
