This study investigated how Silymarin affects the growth of insulin-producing cells in a model of partial pancreas removal in rats.
We treated 72 Wistar rats, half of which were given Silymarin daily. The results were clear: the Silymarin-treated rats showed significant increases in both the Pdx1 gene, which is vital for pancreatic health, and insulin production.
Additionally, their β-cell proliferation improved, leading to better blood sugar control. However, the specific effects on pancreatitis were not explored in this study.

Silymarin protects tissues without lowering glucose
We set out to see how silymarin (SMN) could help rats suffering from type 1 diabetes, particularly focusing on the liver and pancreas. In this study, we treated diabetic rats with SMN over 30 days while comparing them to control groups.
Although we noticed that silymarin significantly reduced signs of protein damage in the liver and pancreas, as well as improved renal function, it didn’t help lower blood glucose levels or enhance pancreatic beta-cell function. Overall, this suggests that while silymarin shows promise in protecting pancreatic and liver health, it doesn’t affect blood sugar levels in diabetic conditions.

Liver says thank you! Prescribed by a sports doctor, confirmed by three others. I am a professional sportsman and have chronic pancreatitis. I took numerous medications, but Silymarin truly saved me. Although I didn’t follow the dosage strictly—two tablets three times daily—I feel fantastic. It has greatly benefited my health.

Digestive relief
My entire family has been using this medication alternately for about a decade. It effectively handles digestive issues and aids in liver function and pancreatitis. Over time, it harmonises our overall condition. The heaviness in my right side fades and my skin improves. The good formulation and reasonable price make it perfect for us.

Pain alleviation
I wish to share my experience with Now Foods Silymarin, which I consider a "magic wand" during flare-ups of gastrointestinal issues. While chronic conditions like cholecystitis and pancreatitis cannot be cured, they can be supported with plant-based supplements. Silymarin boosts existing ailments and protects the liver by promoting cell regeneration and detoxification. It improves bile flow, potentially preventing stone formation. After taking it, I felt relief from spasms within 20 minutes, and my pain ceased altogether thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. A monthly supply suffices for overall recovery.
