Silymarin for Your Liver
Wikipedia explains that "Silibinin is the generic name of the plant from which it is extracted), is the major active constituent of silymarin, a standardized extract of the milk thistle seeds, containing a mixture of flavonolignans  consisting of silibinin, isosilibinin,  silicristinsilidianin and others."


Silymarin is a powerful, liver-protecting, and liver-toning anti-oxidant.  If you try it once, you will feel a difference because most people's livers, I believe, are tired.  Not sick just overworked.  The effects from taking silymarin will be an improvement and reintegration of brain function as well.  That's right.  The liver is a powerful organ.  See this article on the liver and brain health over at Natural News.  In fact, Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, views the liver as the most important organ.  All other organs, including your heart and brain, can get sick or can be injured and you can still live, have a life and thrive because the liver regulates and helps to heal other organs.
A healthy liver is indispensable for your well being. When we have our health, or a proximation of good health, we take our liver health for granted.  The homeostasis we enjoy is an indication of the liver's, or any organ for that matter, ratio of healthy cells to sick ones.  But when an ailment or disease pierces through that mask of homeostasis that also is a signal, one that is telling us that the percentage of poorly functioning cells is increasing and causing that organ fatigue.  If an organ is fatigued, it won't be able to restore itself as well.  But combine the restorative effect of exercise with a good diet of broccoli and spinach and silymarin, I don't see why we can't regain that percentage we lost back. Check out what eHow says about your liver.  

FAT METABOLISM
The liver regulates the amount of lipids (fats) circulating in the body and controls the amount of cholesterol, which is used to produce bile salts. Bile salts, bile pigments and cholesterol combine to form bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the duodenum of the small intestine to aid in the digestions of fats and proteins. Bile salts emulsify fat globules to make them easier for the body to absorb. Read more: What Does Your Liver Do? | eHow.com
