What is a Phytosome?

And How Does it Improve Absorption & Effectiveness?

Some botanical extracts or natural compounds have extremely poor bioavailability. In the case of Silybin, the primary bioactive in Milk Thistle, it struggles to mix with lipids within the body. Lipids make up the outer layer of all cells in the body.

Phytosome technology solves this problem by compounding the Silybin from Milk Thistle with the lipid, phosphatidylcholine.

The lipids and Silybin are now bound together to form a new unit of molecules. This new unit is now the perfect delivery vehicle of Silybin into the body and enhances its absorption into the bloodstream and ability to be received and utilized by cells, specifically liver cells.

In Clinical Trials, our Milk Thistle Phytosome Siliphos...

Improved the Following Liver Biomarkers.

- AST Levels

- ALT Levels

- yGT Levels

These are all crucial indicators of liver health and function, proving its ability to optimize liver health.*

In Clinical Studies, Bilear Artichoke Extract was Shown to Promote Bile Production & Excretion....

Bile plays a crucial role in liver health because it removes the toxins the liver processes. Without healthy bile levels the toxins cannot be fully removed from the body.

Bile is like the garbage truck in the body. if it is not running optimally waste and toxins the body produces are not removed and build up.

On Top of The Enhanced Absorption into the Bloodstream….

Proven Delivery to the Liver

In clinical testing our Milk Thistle phytosome was proven to deliver the key nutrients, Silybin, to the liver cells. 48 hours after taking the Milk Thistle phytosome substantial levels of Silybin were detected in the liver.

In comparison, during the same study standard Milk Thistle optimized for Silymarin was also tested. After 48 hours, NO statistically significant levels of Silybin was detected in the Liver.

Showing standard Milk Thistle with Silymarin has little effectiveness in being delivered and utilized by the liver. In the study our Milk Thistle Phytosome delivered 460% more Silybin to liver cells.

The Body Extracts Silybin A & B from Silymarin

Silymarin is a big compound that has smaller bioactive compounds within it. Silymarin actually does not provide health benefits associated to Milk Thistle it is actually the smaller bioactive molecules of Silybin A & B that are within the Silymarin that give it benefit.

When the body consumes Milk Thistle, it must break down the Silymarin to extract the Silybin A & B. This process is very difficult for the body which is why absorption of standard Milk Thistle is so low.

We went ahead and isolated Silybin A & B and optimized its ability to be absorbed and delivered to the liver.

Siliphos Milk Thistle Dose Validation:

Our Milk Thistle Phytosome, Siliphos, was shown to have clinically proven results at 180 mg to 360 mg daily. Each capsule provides 180 mg, and clinically efficacious doses can be achieve with 1 or 2 capsules per day.

Bilear Artichoke Extract – Dose Validation:

Bilear Artichoke Extract was shown to have clinically proven results at 320 mg to 640 mg daily. Each capsule provides 320 mg, and clinically efficacious doses can be achieve with 1 or 2 capsules per day.
