Milk Thistle & Cranberry
Mason Natural
Overview
This combination supplement offers ingredients with established benefits for liver and urinary tract health. The cranberry dose appears to be within an effective range, particularly for UTI prevention. However, the milk thistle extract dose might be on the lower side compared to some clinical studies for significant liver enzyme reduction, and its standardization (e.g., to silymarin content) is not specified, which can impact efficacy.
The Good
Combines two well-known botanicals for specific organ support (liver and urinary tract).
Cranberry dose (500mg whole fruit extract) is typically effective for UTI prevention.
Generally well-tolerated with a low incidence of side effects.
The Bad
Milk thistle extract dose (150mg) is at the lower end of effective clinical ranges and lacks standardization to silymarin content, making its efficacy ambiguous.
Whole Fruit Extract for cranberry does not specify Proanthocyanidin (PAC) content, which is the key active compound for efficacy.
Potential for drug interactions, especially with blood thinners (cranberry) and liver-metabolized drugs (milk thistle).
