Top Medical Research Studies

We examined how silibinin, a compound found in milk thistle, affects allergic asthma in a mouse model. Our findings showed that silibinin significantly helped reduce airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness, mainly by targeting the NF-κB pathway. This suggests that silibinin might offer protective benefits against allergic airway conditions by moderating inflammatory responses. While our research found promising results in mice, further studies are necessary to confirm its effectiveness in human asthma treatment.

Silibinin reduces allergy-related IgE
We explored the effects of silibinin on allergies by studying its impact on antibody production and T-cell responses in mice sensitized to ovalbumin. The mice received either no treatment or different doses of silibinin before being exposed to the allergen.

Our findings revealed that silibinin significantly reduced the levels of IgE antibodies, which are responsible for allergic reactions. Conversely, it boosted levels of IgG(2a), an antibody that can help fight off allergens.

Silibinin also shifted the immune response towards a balance that favors Th1 cells, which may provide a beneficial effect against allergies.

Silybine shows potential against allergies
We observed the effects of silybine, a key component derived from Silybum marianum seeds, on allergic reactions in rats. The study revealed that silybine can lower blood pressure and inhibit the severe responses associated with anaphylactic shock.

Notably, it appears to stabilize mast cell membranes, preventing the release of histamine—a major player in allergic reactions. However, while these findings are promising, it remains unclear how these effects translate to humans suffering from allergies.

Hay fever relief
5 people found this helpful
Since I started taking this supplement, my skin has become firmer and noticeably brighter! Despite my alcohol consumption, I've found hangovers much easier to manage. Additionally, my severe hay fever symptoms have significantly improved. I highly recommend this supplement!

Skin clearing
Amazing for liver. I had a skin allergy due to my liver, and this helped clear my skin, improved my liver health, and reduced my breakouts. I totally recommend it.

Seasonal allergy relief
After a month on this supplement, I've noticed remarkable improvements, particularly regarding my skin. Despite consuming joint-friendly foods, my immunity seems robust. Having severe rhinitis and allergies, I’m grateful that my symptoms have not worsened—possibly due to my diet. Given its diverse benefits, I plan to incorporate it regularly, especially for women in their 50s.

Silymarin aids UV skin protection
We explored how silymarin, a natural compound from milk thistle, impacts UV light-induced immune suppression and oxidative stress. Testing on mice showed that silymarin treatment significantly enhanced the skin's immune response, reducing harmful leukocyte infiltration and lowering levels of immunosuppressive cytokines.

Notably, silymarin also decreased the production of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide linked to skin damage. Our findings suggest that silymarin could be a promising candidate for developing skincare products or sunscreens aimed at preventing skin cancer.

Skin improvement
One month review. It's already been a month since I took it on an empty stomach. If there's anything that stands out, it's my skin. My immunity seems to be good, even though I have severe rhinitis and am sensitive to allergies. I'm grateful that I've not experienced worse, perhaps due to my diet. They say it's beneficial for health, so I'll continue taking it regularly. It has a variety of effects, so it's recommended to women in their 50s.
