NBG HepatoShield and the reproductive and productive performance of sows

Dear colleagues,

Improving and protecting liver function is key to improving the reproductive and lactation performance of sows.

Liver protection is a concept that is closely related to the preservation of glutathione reserves in the liver.

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide produced mainly in the liver and used by the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in metabolic processes to neutralize oxidative stress caused by, among other things, mycotoxins, high temperatures, antibiotic treatments, high production levels, etc.

Several studies have demonstrated how silymarin is capable of restoring reduced GSH levels, which is the form used by GPX in its detoxification processes. Maintaining good levels of GSH in hepatocytes can improve their detoxification capacity and resistance to acute or chronic oxidative stress.

To protect and promote liver function, at NBG we have designed NBG HepatoShield:

NBG HepatoShield is a Silymarin-based product enhanced with NBG BioBoost technology that can help maintain liver function in stressful situations, regenerate liver tissue, and reduce the pressure of various types of toxins.
Finally, here is an article that shows how dietary silymarin can improve sow performance from 90 days of gestation to the end of lactation by regulating the body’s antioxidants and metabolism.
Enjoy the article!
