 What's up everyone? Today we are going to talk about milk thistle, which is Silameron, the extract of milk thistle as well. I am Dr. Ahmed Ergin I'm an endocrinologist, a diabetes education specialist and your friend to achieve success in diabetes Let's get started Hi guys, so again today we are talking about milk thistle, which is Silameron. A lot of you may have heard about it, the benefits about the liver, the brain, the blood sugar But since you're watching the SugarMD channel, more than likely you are most Interested in the benefits of the milk thistle. Okay, so surprise surprise I got something for you. Now this thing, which is our SugarMD supplement, which a lot of you have heard or used Actually now updated. We have put milk thistle in there Provided that my patients told me how milk thistle are helping them with their liver enzymes with their blood sugars So we decided to put milk thistle. We improved the formula quite a bit actually with this formula And we made it into capsules. Now it comes in 180 capsules So and then the price is much cheaper as well So I think you will like it and I'm trying my best guys to really get your diabetes under control With the least expensive possible way to achieve this Now milk thistle or sulameron definitely is used primarily to treat liver inflammation It is a powerful antioxidant. As a result, it actually helps prevent the damage in your hepatocytes Which are the liver cells. It's a pretty pretty plant actually look at that. So how pretty that is? So remember milk thistle is important for diabetes because the liver damage that happens a lot when you have diabetes Especially with type 2 diabetes guys a lot of you will develop a fat liver disease and the purpose is not to But unfortunately you probably already have fatty liver disease. Now if you look at your, you know CMP, BMP, whatever you call it the metabolic panel your doctors run and if you're ALT AST these are elevated or even sometimes ALP elevated More than likely there is some liver damage going on and if that is the case you need to stop that Now of course healthy living and everything we discuss in this channel will help reverse that fatty liver but on the other hand taking some extra measures and Improving or making that process a little faster by using a supplement such as a milk thistle may help You know you can eat the milk thistle plant But I'm not sure how many of you will go for that they typically extract the sulameron from that plant and Put in a variety of supplements like our supplement has it it helps the diabetes control in a few weeks It improves your insulin resistance But most importantly it protects your liver cells from damage Which is very important You have only one liver and you want to protect that liver now because of the Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory features actually milk thistle can help the brain damage as well Now dementia is very common as we get older and especially when you have inflammatory disorders such as Diabetes or vascular disorders the rates of dementia goes way high way fast And again anything you can do to prevent the brain damage from oxidative stress from free radical damage Your best bet is using more and more antioxidants as you can and milk thistle as happens to be one of them So guys also cardiovascular disease again the one of the most common reason for cardiovascular disease is insulin resistance Pre-diabetes diabetes you name it and all these problems are all interconnected, right? So a fat-delivered disease happens due to insulin resistance and then you have diabetes and then heart disease happens So sometimes heart disease even establishes itself before the diabetes happens So as a result you really need to protect your heart because guess what if even if you're you can manage To bring your blood sugar down to like 100 milligram per deciliter level or in European measurement I don't know like maybe 5.7 or below level. I would say you know if you if your heart fails it nothing matters anymore So you need to make sure that yes while you're controlling your diabetes and your blood sugars You need to also protect your heart, which is your primary organ to sustain your life So again, I'm not saying go become a supplement junkie and go buy this supplement that supplement But I think for my diabetics.
