Benefits of thistle

Great quality

You take one a day with food, so the tub will last for 4 months, which I think is good value at £10.99 (at the time of writing). They are capsules and not too big, so easy to swallow and they are odourless and tasteless to me, but my sinuses aren't the best. It's the Silymarin content that helps the liver and this is 80%, which is pretty standard but this 7200mg whereas others can be half that, so you are getting 80% of a higher strength to begin with, this makes the value even better, in my opinion.Milk Thistle is one of the 7 supplements I take daily for my Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Healing a fatty liver is very slow going, I had an issue with Paracetamol and Lansoprazole, cutting out the former completely and changing the latter to Omeprazole helped a lot but my levels were still way too high and refusing to budge anymore. NAFLD isn't treated on the NHS, they only monitor it with regular blood tests and scans when necessary. I got a book from Amazon at the end of 2017 about how to heal a fatty liver and have been taking these supplements since the beginning of 2018 every day ever since then. I don't actually feel any better but my bloodwork has improved massively since taking them and my doctor has told me that it is working so to carry on doing what I'm doing.Milk Thistle is also a good hang-over cure, but you are best off taking them before as well as after over-indulging, so my husband will take a few periodically as well. This higher strength one should be better for a hang-over cure.

Smell weird, so hard to get over that. Not sure if they're working, but easy to swallow. Great price if they are as good as they say they say they are, and the reviews aren't fake. But the smell makes me suspicious.

I use this product in conjunction with Choline & Inositol and Christophers Liver and Gallbladder products. It is one of the most effective ways to cleanse a fatty liver and to try and restore full functionality to the liver. Fatty liver is behind so many issues and I am attempting to reverse Insulin intolerance by cleansing the pancreas, liver and gallbladder. So far this combination has helped a lot and my blood sugars have remained low. Milk Thistle will help the liver and whilst I cannot feel any difference, I know from my blood sugars that the liver is getting better. I am happy to recommend this product.

Milk thistle is the supplement you need to support your liver, and it actually states on the tub "relieves symptoms of indigestion and upset stomach and also known to have anti-inflammatory properties". I really appreciate products that have their specific use and properties printed on the jar. We have so many different supplements in the house and it saves time having to look the information up online. My wife had been suffering from gastritis and nausea for a while and taking these really seem to help. These particular capsules are high dosage, 287.5mg of milk thistle extract (7200mg equivalent, whatever that means) and are free from gluten, wheat, yeast, fish and lactose - in other words suitable for vegans. The recommended daily dosage is just one capsule and you get 120 in the pot, 4 months supply, for just under £11, so that's pretty good value.

I have allergies to common supplement/medicine ingredients, one of the most common being HPMC (hypromellose / Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, in the UK also listed as E464), commonly used as a capsule, or as tablet glaze, which gives me asthma symptoms my inhaler wont entirely fix (I need both the inhaler and an antihistamine syrup to make it bearable - but not a tablet as the antihistamine tablets all have HPMC coatings, all of them, which is like some kind of cosmic bad joke from where I am sat). This product does not list what the capsule is made from, it only lists the primary ingredient and the fillers/flow agents. I have to assume this capsule is HPMC as it is by far the most common particularly for vegetarian products - and I got a reaction just from holding a capsule for a few seconds to test it after I noticed the missing capsule ingredient.I have been trying to avoid the common triggers for my allergies but have kept having breathing trouble regardless - and this may be why. This has made me realise just how untrustworthy these products may be, that my breathing problems after taking my supplements (which I need. Thanks covid!) might not be due to me reacting to yet another ingredient I have yet to identify (microcrystaline cellulose sets me off too, though not as badly as HPMC) but unlisted ingredients in products made by untrustworthy brands. This is frustrating and upsetting. I didn't notice at first as I have taken to scanning for the key ingredients I have to avoid as they are so common they're in like 97% of things available, so when I saw them not listed here I jumped at it. To realise their ingredients list is not complete and their product was making me worse is so frustrating and upsetting, and makes me wonder how many others are doing this, and which of the products I am currently relying on may be adding to my problems rather then helping due to unlisted ingredients or wrongly listed ones.
