As a material good for anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and detoxication of liver cells, silymarin is widely used in the world as a liver protecting medicine.
However, as it is not solved in water or oil very well, its absorbability is very low, causing it to fail to show its full efficacy. This is the reason why silymarin products, though very many in variety in the world, vary largely in effect.
By applying new technology, the Red Cross Chemist’s has developed silypid capsules for liver protection whose absorbability of silymarin is increased several times and in which the medicinal effect of lecithin is added.
According to Om Jun Il, the main developer of the medicine, the medicine has significantly improved the subjective symptoms of patients with liver diseases like lethargy, indigestion, loss of appetite, bad appetite, flatulence and hypochondria dolor and normalized the indexes of liver functions in about 40 days after its use.
The medicine won a DPRK patent.
