CLAV Organic Milk Thistle & Artichoke Extract Rich in Silymarin
CLAV
Overview
This supplement combines Organic Milk Thistle Powder and Organic Artichoke Extract, both known for their potential liver protective and digestive health benefits. However, the listed dosages for both ingredients appear to be significantly lower than those typically used in clinical studies to achieve their advertised effects. The milk thistle is specified as a 'powder' rich in silymarin, rather than a standardized extract with a clear silymarin content, making its efficacy uncertain. The artichoke extract dose is significantly underdosed when compared to research-backed amounts.
The Good
Contains organic forms of Milk Thistle and Artichoke Extract.
Both ingredients are recognized for their potential liver and digestive health benefits.
Artichoke extract provides at least 2.5% cynarin, a key active compound.
The Bad
Milk Thistle dose may be below optimal for significant benefits (400mg of powder, not standardized Silymarin).
Artichoke Extract dose is significantly under-dosed for claimed effects (40mg extract vs 500-1500mg studied).
Lack of clear standardization for Silymarin content in Milk Thistle Powder.
