Milk Thistle & Dandelion
TerraVita
Overview
The effectiveness is primarily driven by Milk Thistle, which has moderate to high-quality evidence supporting its hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects, particularly in reducing liver enzymes. Dandelion's contribution is less clinically established in humans, with most evidence being preclinical. The glycerite extract form offers an alcohol-free alternative, but specific efficacy data for this combined form are lacking.
The Good
Combines two widely recognized herbs for traditional liver support.
Milk Thistle (Silymarin) has substantial clinical evidence for hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects.
Dandelion demonstrates preclinical potential for blood glucose regulation and metabolic health.
The Bad
Specific clinical evidence for the combined Milk Thistle and Dandelion glycerite extract is lacking.
Dosing information is not specific enough to confirm clinically effective amounts of active ingredients.
Dandelion's clinical efficacy in humans for liver support is less robust compared to Milk Thistle.
