DEPATIC

Depatic is a phytocomplex particularly active in the support of the depurative and protective functions of the liver.

Silymarin, the active ingredient extracted from milk thistle seeds, is a compound of 3 molecules: silybin, silychristin and silydianin, which have shown an important protective activity on the hepatic cell. Silymarin has antioxidant and hepatoprotective functions, and antagonises numerous hepatotoxic agents: phalloidin, alpha-amanitin (the Amanita phalloides’ toxic substances), lanthanides, carbon tetrachloride, galactosamine, ethanol (causing degenerative damage in alcoholism), etc.

The therapeutic efficacy of silymarin is based on two action mechanisms: it impedes the penetration of the toxic agents into the hepatic cell, and stimulates its regeneration capacity.

Desmodium adscendens is a plant of African origin that has been used since ancient times in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. Various studies confirm its efficacy on the biological and clinical level, in repairing and protecting the hepatic tissue from damages caused by chronic degenerative diseases (cirrhosis, hepatitis, etc.) and by some toxic substances (plant-based toxins, medicines, chemical poisons, etc.). Desmodium acts by restoring the normal anatomical-functional structure of the hepatic tissue. Its anti-inflammatory and protective function on the hepatic parenchyma is mediated by the inhibition of an enzyme (hepatic monooxygenase) that catalyses one of the biochemical reactions of transformation of the arachidonic acid into eicosanoids, the main pro-inflammatory molecules in the organism.

Desmodium adscendens also has a protective and desensitising function in the lungs: indeed, it makes bronchi less sensitive to allergenic or irritating external agents, which cause bronchial asthma.

Depatic is indicated as an adjuvant in the treatment of acute or chronic inflammation-based liver pathologies, where the main aim is a regenerating, detoxifying and anti-inflammatory effect.
