Siliphos® Clinical Studies Index

Read about studies conducted on Siliphos, the active ingredient in UltraThistle.

  • (Ref20C15) Effect of Siliphos® on chronic active hepatitis

    Study shows significant reduction in elevated liver enzymes (and therefore hepatocellular necrosis) in just one week of treatment with Siliphos®.

  • (Ref21C13) Therapeutic effect of Siliphos® in chronic liver disease

    A small study of eight human subjects with chronic active hepatitis. This study shows significant benefits of Siliphos® after just two months treatment.

  • (Ref8P22) Direct comparison of Siliphos® to standardized milk thistle extract

    Study shows nearly 10x the bioavailability of Siliphos® over the world's best selling standardized extract.

  • (Ref18C14) Useful dosages of Siliphos®:

    Shows definite advantages of Siliphos® at dosages ranging from 160mg to 360mg (measured as silybin). Dose/effect relationship is also demonstrated with the highest dosage tested getting the most dramatic results.

  • (C10) Considerably greater bioavailability of silybin as a component of Siliphos®:

    Laboratory study shows that binding silybin with phosphatidylcholine on a molecular level dramatically improves its bioavailablity on a cellular level.

  • (C3Medline) Increased oral bioavailability of Siliphos® in humans:

    Human study compares Siliphos® and the worlds best selling standardized milk thistle extract and shows how much better the results are with Siliphos®.

  • (Ref9C8) Effect of Siliphos® on cirrhotic patients:

    Study shows that Siliphos® does not significantly differ in its safe and beneficial activity in patients with cirrhosis vs. healthy control subjects.

  • (Ref10C2) Long term usage of Siliphos®:

    Study shows the beneficial properties of Siliphos® are not diminished by sustained usage of the product.

  • (Ref12P19) Liver damage control properties of Siliphos®:

    Siliphos® shows significant protective activity against liver damage. This study tested Siliphos® protection against a variety of toxins.

  • (Ref13P6) Free radical scavenging properties of Siliphos®:

    Study shows the capability of Siliphos® to scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. It also demonstrates significantly higher blood plasma levels of silybin when administered as a component of Siliphos® rather than in its unbound form.

  • (Ref14P13) Effect of silimarin on lipid peroxidation:

    Study shows milk thistle extract (silymarin) to be a helpful antioxidant and silybin to be the most valuable constituent of silymarin.

  • (Ref15P16) Siliphos® counteracts hepatotoxic effects:

    Study shows Siliphos® protects liver cells against free-radical mediated toxic liver injury.

  • (Ref16P23) Antioxidant activity of Siliphos® against alcohol:

    Study shows how Siliphos® is dramatically more effective than pure silybin alone. Concludes Siliphos® may be useful in counteracting damage caused by alcohol intake.

  • (Ref19C6) Tolerablility and effectiveness of Siliphos®:

    Study shows high dose tolerability of Siliphos® as well as its increased effectiveness over conventional standardized milk thistle extract.

  • (C6Medline) Liver protection potential of Siliphos®:

    Study shows the antioxidant and free radical scavenging effect of Siliphos®.

  • (Ref7P12) Comparative bioavailability of Siliphos® vs. silybin:

    Study shows exactly how much better silybin is absorbed when combined on a molecular level with phosphatidylcholine (a patented process resulting in Siliphos®).

  • (Ref11P1) Liver protective activity:

    Shows Siliphos® is more effective than its constituents, silybin and phosphatidylcholine, alone. The effectiveness of Siliphos® is considerably greater than the sum of its parts.

This product seemingly has kept my hep c from progressing out of stage 1. I am very grateful to my dr. for telling me about this product. I have had nothing but excellent service from natural wellness company. I would like to thank you at this time for many years of great customer service.

I had NAFLD (20% of surface covered with fat) and a few lifestyle changes, some exercise and taking UltraThistle for 6 months - my latest check up revealed that the NAFLD has gone and my liver is functioning normally!!

Working good so far, trying to improve liver function of my fiance who is a heavy drinker. Dr. Said to keep taking it and after 3 months of using regular 'NatureMade' milk thistle and a month of 'Ultra Thistle' his liver #'s were back in the normal range.

I have to thank you and point out to others on the fence about putting their Liver Disease self-treatment on auto-ship for the rest of your life.....I am a long-time NAFLD patient and recently had to do something different because no matter what we do, this is a progressive disease. The products from Natural Wellness came and I received the immediate turn-around I was looking for and even though I am an old lady on low income, I had to decide this was the best choice for my life and the auto-ship idea is a Godsend. I had been taking Milkweed power capsules which stopped working. This new approach is terrific. Thank you Natural Wellness.

I had been drinking far too regularly (5 nights a week), exercising a few times a week and eating less than healthily. I had been taking a CVS brand of Milk Thistle thinking it would protect me. Wrong. Went to the Dr for a pain in my upper-right abs and my liver values (not surprisingly) were moderately elevated to AST/ALT 45/50. I freaked out, did a ton of research, and bought UltraThistle. Along with eating slightly better, only drinking on the weekends (2 nights), and busting my ass in the gym, a month later my liver values have decreased to 26/25. Obviously, my change in lifestyle helped, but about a week after I started taking this, the pain in my upper-right abs has gone away completely. I'd say this stuff works.

I am 59 yrs old & I have been using Ultra Thistle for about 4 months now due to an enlarged liver infused with fat that was making me very sick. The doctor said I may not be able to reverse it. My condition is technically called NASH. My liver is shrinking & I feel so much better. The doctor said I was doing amazing that he had only seen maybe 2 other patients in his entire career turn it around as quickly as I have. He said keep taking it & of course I have a strict diet too. My prognosis was doom & gloom & now I am reversing my NASH! I believe Ultra Thistle is my life saver & I will always take it.

I have used UltraThistle for years with great results. ANY research at all regsrding Milk Thistle will reveal its curative qualities. And of ALL the M.T. out there, Natural Welness' UltraThistle is hands-down the best - specifically in bioavailability. As an aside, my FibroSure numbers remain within specs while using UltraThistle. No taste, no belch, no ill effects - just a squeaky-clean liver! And the service from Natural Wellness has been superb. I'm no healthcare provider; however, I highll recommend BOTH & am in no way connected to either.
