Starwest Botanicals Organic Milk Thistle Seed Powder,1lb

Geez where did this product pop up from! Quality bulk organic milk thistle power at a steal of a price! Comparatively speaking, I thought I was getting a deal with organic power (marketed as something to create a tea from, and is $12.99 for 2 oz. TWO OUNCES. Plus I started to notice an inconsistency of freshness / color / etc. Then here the Starwest Botanicals pure milk thistle power appears to me... $7 more for a whole pound. I'm all about buying things in bulk - Costco shopper checking in - and I have found that products for my everyday nutrition and health are best purchased this way and self-capsuled to save a ton of money and know exactly what I'm getting. I was first introduced to milk thistle when I was trying to pinpoint some health issues going on that may have been hormonal imbalance / estrogen dominance. A very informative site suggested a handful for of things to get everything balanced out again, and milk thistle /silymarin was suggested as it supports liver health - the organ that flushes toxins out of your body. Plus ya know, I'm no saint, and enjoy alcoholic beverages from time to time and whatnot. So there have been several reasons to keep this janitor organ happy and healthy and never considering a union strike on my body. The results? It's all speculative but I tell people all the time that I really don't even get the common cold anymore. I may have had one under-the-weather day that quickly resolved itself and thats about it... in like 2 years since I began my journey to better health. And thats what I've noticed with a lot of the things I decided to become standard daily consumption for my health: wonderful surprise side effects! Here I was just trying to get my female issues worked out and not only have I done that...I'm never sick anymore. I'll take it. For this product itself, I am very impressed already. It is a rich brown color (about the color of brown sugar as you see in the photo) and is very fresh. I have a hard time explaining the consistency other that it has a sponginess to it that makes manually capsule filling very easy. I have purchased manufactured milk thistle capsules of various brands, as well as the aforementioned power, and there has been so many differences in smell, taste, and color. All I can say is the rich, natural speckled brown with the sort of pine-y taste appears to be the most true products and that is what you get here. Very pleased!

Perfect. Amazing. Affordable! My older dog has been having liver issues (ALT) and the vet put her on Denamarin but it was super pricey long term. She recommended switching her to Milk Thistle instead and man oh man that was the best recommendation ever. We’ve been giving her just a small amount every morning for the past year or so ever since. We just had her blood retested and it has significantly improved her ALT levels back to a normal range!!! The dog loves it! I love the results! And it has saved us so much worrying and money!

I’ve been using Starwest for decades now. Good quality organic products.

Trust worthy brand, organic milk thistle is so good to help detox your liver and clean your body. Milk thistle is an herbal remedy derived from the milk thistle plant that has antioxidant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties as well. So many beneficial facets about milk thistle. Do your research, then buy organic.

Great experience!
