The silymarin

The silymarin exerts membrane-stabilizing and antioxidant activity, it promotes hepatocyte regeneration; 

furthermore it reduces the inflammatory reaction, and inhibits the fibrogenesis in the liver. Silymarin, like other flavonoids, has been shown to inhibit P-glycoprotein-mediated cellular efflux. The modulation of P-glycoprotein activity may result in altered absorption and bioavailability of drugs that are P-glycoprotein substrates.These results have been established by experimental and clinical trials. According to open studies the long-term administration of silymarin significantly increased survival time of patients with alcohol induced liver cirrhosis.In chronic liver diseases caused by oxidative stress (alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, drug- and chemical-induced hepatic toxicity), the antioxidant medicines such as silymarin can have beneficial effect.

Treatments for your natural hair

 The best natural hair

It might be frustrating to grow out natural hair or hair that hasn't been relaxed. It can be tempting to just throw your hands up in the air, take your flat iron, and run off with a tub of relaxer at times because of navigating various hair textures, trying out treatments on your hair, and the breakage you'll unavoidably experience along the route.



But after the transitional stage, you might discover a full head of magnificent kinks and curls surfacing and attempting to flourish atop your head. We questioned three expert hairstylists about their go-to natural hair products to help you remove some of the uncertainty from your own path.

Finding the best treatment for your hair is also important when going natural. That means looking for a functional leave-in treatment, mask, or detangling spray.


Last-minute moisture can mean the difference between smooth, bouncy curls and a disastrous moment of floppiness. A good treatment will also protect and save your hair from future damage such as split ends or breakage. A good hydrating or moisturizing treatment will keep your hair looking and feeling healthier for longer while also preventing frizz.
