Top Medical Research Studies

We conducted a randomized, double-blind clinical trial to investigate the effects of silymarin on patients with beta-thalassemia major.

Over three months, 59 patients received either silymarin along with desferrioxamine or a placebo.

While silymarin showed promising benefits, particularly in liver and red blood cell health, there was no significant difference in serum ferritin levels between groups after treatment.

However, we believe that this combination can be safely integrated into therapies for iron-overloaded patients.

Silymarin reduces iron overload effectively
We examined how silymarin, derived from silybum marianum, impacts iron overload in patients with β-thalassemia major undergoing treatment with desferrioxamine. Over nine months, patients who received silymarin alongside desferrioxamine saw marked reductions in ferritin, iron, and total iron-binding capacity compared to those taking a placebo.

Additionally, participants using silymarin experienced improved liver function and lowered hepcidin levels. This suggests that silymarin could effectively alleviate body iron burden, enhancing treatment outcomes for anemia in thalassemia patients.

Boosted energy levels
I've just started taking this supplement and was pleasantly surprised by the surge of energy it provides while I tackle my anaemia. My hair had been falling out in clumps for four years, and now I feel more confident while washing and combing it again.

Symptoms alleviated

I believed that my hair loss, angular cheilitis, and pressing discomfort around my ribs were linked to anaemia and liver fatigue. After discovering this product, I took one capsule and was amazed that the unpleasant rib symptoms quickly vanished. I plan to continue using it for a while.

Reduced dark circles
I took this for my skin and hair, as anaemia often leaves me with dark circles under my eyes. After a long period of use, I finally noticed a result. I combined it with astaxanthin and krill oil, which helped me avoid sunburn during the holidays, and the blemishes under my eyes diminished.
