Structured Facts
Indications
Hepatic support, Aflatoxicosis, hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver syndrome), mycotoxicosis outbreaks, and metabolic support for high-producing laying hens.
Mechanism of Action
Silymarin stabilizes hepatocyte cell membranes, preventing the entry of hepatotoxins like Aflatoxin B1, and stimulates nucleolar RNA polymerase I to enhance ribosomal protein synthesis and liver regeneration. Tricholine citrate and Methionine act as lipotropic agents, donating methyl groups to facilitate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, which exports triglycerides from hepatocytes. Herbal bitters stimulate the secretion of bile acids and pancreatic enzymes, enhancing digestion.
