Healthy liver function is required for the proper storage, release, and overall metabolism of blood sugar. Individuals with compromised liver function often develop type 2 diabetes, often in conjunction with weight gain and the development of fatty liver. A new study shows that silymarin can help patients with liver problems who also have Type 2 Diabetes.
The study showed that five months of silymarin reduced blood sugar levels of 8%. Significant improvements also important measures of liver health (bilirubin was lowered 40%, SGOT was lowered 29%, SGPT was lowered 35%, and ALP was lowered 12%). Such improvement in liver function is rather dramatic, as the general trend in the liver of diabetic patients is one of increased free radical damage and scar tissue formation, tending to lock in the problem of Type 2 Diabetes.
Any person gaining excess weight around their midsection is likely developing excessive fatty deposits in their liver with consequent impairment of liver function and risk for blood sugar problems. This study shows that silymarin can help guard against the progression of serious liver deterioration, helping to give a person more time to fix their weight and metabolic issues.
