IThis
substance was tested against its constituents (Silybin and
Phosphotidylcholine) for protection against liver poisoning
in lab rats. IdB 1016 (Silybin Phytosome) was found to reduce
liver cell damage indicators from one poison tested by 43%.
For another poison it reduced liver necrosis from 68% in poisoned
controls to 5% in treated animals.
The
compound was consistently more active than either Silybin
or Phosphatidylcholine alone. These results may be explained
by the improved bioavailablity of IdB 1016 (Silybin Phytosome)
