Description
Solgar Milk Thistle 100 Capsules is a food supplement providing a standardised extract of milk thistle (Silybum marianum) seed, supplying 60-80% silymarin, in a vegetable capsule suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Milk thistle is a flowering herb, and because Solgar standardises the extract to a set silymarin range, each capsule provides a consistent, measured level of silymarin rather than the variable potency of a plain crude herb powder.
Key Features
- Standardised silymarin extract: Made from milk thistle seed extract standardised to 60-80% silymarin, so each capsule provides a consistent, measured potency rather than variable crude herb.
- Once-daily capsule: Directions call for just one vegetable capsule a day, preferably with a meal.
- Vegan, vegetarian and Kosher: The vegetable capsule shell (hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose) contains no animal-derived ingredients, and the product is Kosher certified.
- Free from common allergens: Free from gluten, wheat, dairy, soya and yeast, and also free from added sugar and starch.
What is silymarin, and why is the extract standardised?
Silymarin is the group of active compounds found in milk thistle seed. Solgar standardises its milk thistle extract to contain 60-80% silymarin, so each capsule provides a consistent, measured amount rather than the variable levels found in an unstandardised herb powder.
