Milk Thistle Seed Extract
Christopher's Original Formulas
Overview
This Milk Thistle product contains the key ingredient expected for liver support. While milk thistle has a long history of traditional use and some scientific backing for its hepatoprotective effects, the lack of specific silymarin content and dosage per serving makes it difficult to assess its full clinical effectiveness compared to research-backed dosages.
The Good

Simple, Clean Formulation (No Fillers or Chemicals)
Liquid Form for potentially better absorption and ease of use
The Bad
Lack of Silymarin Standardization
Proprietary Blend Prevents Dose Assessment (amount per serving not specified for milk thistle)
Effectiveness may vary due to unquantified active compounds
Is it for you?
