Product Description: Supplement Liver/Detox Gluten Free Combination of 3 Liver-Protecting Ingredients for Optimal Absorption S.A.T. (Silymarin, Artichoke, Turmeric) is a liver-protecting formula that delivers curcumin and milk thistle extract in an absorbable phytosome form. Artichoke helps with fatty liver. Each of the three ingredients in Thorne’s S.A.T. supports liver health. Silymarin (Milk Thistle) contains important antioxidants that help protect liver cells from free radical damage, strengthen liver cell membranes, and support the liver’s own antioxidant system. Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) has been used for liver support for centuries. Turmeric has been used traditionally in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to support liver function. The primary pharmacologically active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin. S.A.T. provides silymarin and curcumin (Siliphos and Meriva, respectively) bound to phospholipid compounds to optimize absorption and liver protection. For centuries, Asian cultures have enjoyed the health benefits of curcumin, the orange pigment found in turmeric (the main ingredient in curry). Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that provides numerous health benefits. For example, it supports joint, liver, digestive, and cardiovascular function by optimizing cytokine production to help maintain the body’s normal inflammatory response. Cytokines play a key role in the body’s natural immune response to inflammation, infection, and trauma. The liver protection properties of curcumin are likely due to its potent antioxidant activity and its ability to maintain the body’s normal inflammatory response in the liver. Curcumin taken as a supplement or as a food is typically absorbed into the bloodstream at very low levels. Utilizing Indena S.p.A.’s unique “phytosome” technology, our curcumin extract/phospholipid complex is much better absorbed than curcumin extract alone. Phospholipids are essential components of human cells, so phospholipids obtained from food or supplements are very well absorbed. Silymarin is composed of three flavonoids. Of the three, silybin is the most abundant and most biologically active. Siliphos phytosomes provide the benefits of silybin and phospholipids in one compound. Silybin is a naturally water-soluble flavonoid, but when combined with phospholipids, it can be made lipophilic. This phytosome preparation allows the liver-protecting flavonoids to be better absorbed into the liver cell membrane. Studies have shown that this silybin-phospholipid complex has a much higher absorption rate than conventional milk thistle products.
