Written by | published on

The "classic" user of silymarin supplements is either fat, sick and suffering from NAFLD, or big, buffed and taking oral steroids. Athletic women like the ones in the photos above, on the other hand, have not yet  been very likely to buy and use silymarin supplements... well, unless they were (ab-)using oral, hepatoxic steroids, as well, obviously. When bros talk about Silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle, they usually do that in the context of "cycle support", i.e. the use of supplements to buffer the negative effects of (oral pro-)hormones on organ- and, specifically, liver-health. A recent study from the  Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences  in Iran, however, the "bro-talk" may change that, though. In the study, which was meant to test, whether silymarin a scientifically proven (Dixit. 2007; Saller. 2009; Surai. 2015) "powerful antioxidant" (Shirali. 2016), will also affect athletic performance, N = 45 (unfortuna...

Image 1: Silybum marianum , a medical plant that has been used to treat liver disease for >2,000 years and is a staple in many "post cycle therapy" supplements you can current purchase at your favorite supplement store. Whether or not you are into "performance enhancing drugs" does not really matter. If you have browsed through the range of one of the myriad of on-line supplement vendors, you will have seen them: the "liver protectors" , "supplements for liver health" , or simply "post-cycle recovery" supplements. The most common ingredient, you will see on the labels of supplements listed in these or similar categories, is silymarin , a flavonoid complex consisting of silybin (the most active component), silydanianin and silychristin , which is either extracted or simply contained in a crude extract of the seeds of Silybum marianum , a flowering plant of the daisy family, the manufacturers put into their capsules.

Image 1: This drawing from a German 1885 compendium on the flora in Germany, Austria and Switzerland shows that other than Acai & Co, pomegranate is no exotic (expensive and useless) discovery of some fly-by-night supplement vendor. People are always all the rave, when some clever scientist (or should I say business man?) dug up another of those exotic fruit from a godforsaken valley somewhere in the African or South-American primeval forests. With the hype around ACAI & Co they often forget that there have been real Superfoods just around the corner, right in their local grocery store for years. Pomegranate, as it becomes increasingly evident from recent research, is one of these Superfoods - one that has even been mentioned in the Book of Exodus and has been part of the Ayurevedic tradition for centuries, now. While I have been following the research for some months now, the one mind-boggling study result has always been missing so that this is in fact the first blogpos...
