Milk thistle is a botanical supplement associated with the plant Silybum marianum. This capsule listing should be compared by its actual label rather than by a general liver-health claim.
Product details
Product and pack: Nature's Bounty Milk Thistle 250 mg, 200 Capsules.
Choosing this formula
Compare the botanical amount, extract description, and silymarin standardization when provided. A milligram number by itself does not show that different products have the same extract concentration.
How to use
Follow the serving and frequency on the supplied bottle. Tell your healthcare professional about this and other supplements, especially if you are managing a liver condition or taking prescription medicines.
Before use
Milk thistle may cause digestive symptoms and allergic reactions, particularly in people allergic to related plants such as ragweed. Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety information is limited.
Can it detoxify the liver or replace liver treatment?
Clinical studies have not established consistent benefits for liver disease. It should not replace prescribed treatment, liver testing, or assessment of jaundice, persistent abdominal symptoms, or abnormal results.
Keep the bottle closed, follow its storage directions, and keep out of children's reach. Check complete ingredients and expiry before use. Read NIH's ingredient background and safety information. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
