Action
Properties: The liver has several vital functions in the human body; it plays a major role in metabolism (sugar, proteins and fats), digestion (bile secretion) and in the detoxification of metabolic wastes. Any form of damage to the liver affects the membranes of the liver cells, hence, impairs functional capacity. Silymarin, the active substance of Legalon is of plant origin. It acts as a stabilizer of cell membranes and is hence capable of protecting the liver from noxious influences and of restoring or revitalizing liver cells which have previously been damaged. Its effects are reflected in improvement in general condition, lessening of digestive symptoms, and increase in appetite and body weight in patients whose general condition and nutritional state have been impaired by liver disease. It also ameliorates the signs of liver disease and normalizes laboratory tests of liver function.
