This substance was tested against its constituents (Silybin and
Phosphotidylcholine) for protection against liver poisoning in
lab rats. IdB 1016 (Siliphos) 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 (Siliphos)
