Milk Thistle Capsules Liver Complex - 200 mg Silymarin + Choline | 90 Capsules

Milk thistle - the thistle with the marbled leaves

  • Milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.) is a member of the daisy family (Asteraceae) from the Mediterranean, recognisable by its white-marbled leaves and purple flower head. The ripe seeds are used, botanically the fruits.
  • Its characteristic constituent is silymarin, a complex of flavonolignans - above all silibinin A and B, silychristin and silydianin - alongside the flavonoid taxifolin.
  • Dioscorides and Pliny already described the plant in antiquity; today milk thistle is one of the best documented species in European herbal medicine and the subject of its own EU monograph by the HMPC.

The complex: 200 mg silymarin plus artichoke and dandelion

  • One capsule provides 250 mg milk thistle seed extract with 200 mg silymarin - equivalent to a standardisation of 80 % and clearly declared on the label.
  • The extract is complemented by 100 mg artichoke leaf extract with 5 mg cynarin (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) and 100 mg dandelion root extract with 5 mg flavonoids (Taraxacum officinale) - three traditional bitter plants in one formula.
  • Silymarin is poorly water-soluble; its bioavailability and the formulation approaches to it are the subject of pharmaceutical research (Di Costanzo & Angelico, 2019), while artichoke leaf extract and its cynarin content are pharmacologically described (Ben Salem et al., 2015).

82.5 mg choline and 90 days from one tub

  • Alongside the three plant extracts, every capsule contains 82.5 mg choline: choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function.
  • Choline is an essential nutrient that the body produces only to a limited extent. In the diet it occurs mainly in eggs, meat, fish and pulses - in this formula it comes from choline bitartrate.
  • 90 vegan capsules last 90 days at 1 capsule daily - a three-month supply, produced and lab-tested in Austria.

  • When should you take milk thistle?

    Take 1 capsule daily with sufficient liquid during a meal. Bitter plants such as milk thistle, artichoke and dandelion are traditionally taken with food, and many people choose the largest meal of the day for this. The exact time can be freely adapted to your routine - regular daily intake is what matters.

  • Dosage and duration of use

    Daily dose: 1 capsule (= 250 mg milk thistle seed extract with 200 mg silymarin, 100 mg artichoke leaf extract with 5 mg cynarin, 100 mg dandelion root extract with 5 mg flavonoids and 82.5 mg choline). Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. One tub of 90 capsules lasts 90 days. For adults only. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women and children should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.

What is milk thistle?

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a member of the daisy family from the Mediterranean, with white-marbled leaves and a purple flower head. The ripe seeds are used to produce an extract. Its characteristic constituent is silymarin, a complex of flavonolignans such as silibinin, silychristin and silydianin. Green Naturals Milk Thistle Liver Complex provides 250 mg seed extract with 200 mg silymarin per capsule.

What is silymarin?

Silymarin is not a single substance but a mixture of flavonolignans from milk thistle seeds, above all silibinin A and B, silychristin and silydianin. It is regarded as the lead compound group of the plant and is therefore used to standardise extracts. This product contains 200 mg silymarin per daily dose, which corresponds to a standardisation of the extract to 80 %.

What is milk thistle good for?

Milk thistle is one of the most traditional bitter plants in Europe and has been used since antiquity; the European Medicines Agency maintains its own EU monograph on the fruits. As a food supplement, the standardised seed extract is particularly sought after. The permitted statement on the liver comes from the choline in this product: choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function.

Is milk thistle good for the liver?

The liver reference of this product comes from the choline it contains: choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function - an authorised health claim in the EU. The daily dose provides 82.5 mg choline for this. The plant extracts from milk thistle, artichoke and dandelion complement the formula with their declared lead compounds silymarin, cynarin and flavonoids.

What does milk thistle do in the body?

Silymarin is at the centre of research. The flavonolignan complex is poorly water-soluble, which is why numerous pharmaceutical papers deal with its bioavailability and with formulation strategies (Di Costanzo & Angelico, 2019). Artichoke leaf extract and its cynarin content are also pharmacologically described (Ben Salem et al., 2015). The concrete health claim in this product comes from choline.

Which milk thistle capsules are the best?

Look for a standardised seed extract with a clearly stated silymarin content rather than unspecified powder, a sensible daily dose, a clean vegan formula and independent laboratory testing of every batch. It also helps when the additional components are declared with their lead compound and amount. Green Naturals Milk Thistle Liver Complex meets these criteria with 200 mg silymarin, 5 mg cynarin, 5 mg flavonoids and 82.5 mg choline.

Why are artichoke and dandelion included?

Milk thistle, artichoke and dandelion all belong botanically to the daisy family and count among the classic bitter plants of European herbal tradition. The complex combines them with their respective lead compounds: 200 mg silymarin from milk thistle, 5 mg cynarin from 100 mg artichoke leaf extract and 5 mg flavonoids from 100 mg dandelion root extract. Choline completes the formula as a nutrient.

How much milk thistle per day?

The daily dose is 1 capsule with 250 mg milk thistle seed extract, of which 200 mg is silymarin. Added to this are 100 mg artichoke leaf extract, 100 mg dandelion root extract and 82.5 mg choline. Take the capsule with sufficient liquid during a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose; the product is intended for adults only.

When to take milk thistle - morning or evening?

There is no fixed time of day. As these are bitter plants, taking the capsule with a meal makes sense, for example with the largest meal of the day. Whether that is in the morning, at midday or in the evening is up to you. Regular daily intake matters more than the exact hour - one capsule a day is enough.

How long should you take milk thistle?

Regular intake over several weeks is common; one tub of 90 capsules lasts 90 days at 1 capsule daily, around 3 months. There is no fixed upper limit for the duration of use. If you would like to take the product permanently or regularly use medicines, it is best to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist.

Does milk thistle have side effects?

Milk thistle seed extract is generally regarded as well tolerated when used as intended; mild gastrointestinal complaints are occasionally described. Milk thistle, artichoke and dandelion belong to the daisy family - in case of a known allergy to Asteraceae, the product should not be taken. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women and children should seek medical advice before use, as should people who regularly take medication.

Can the capsules be opened?

Yes. The vegan HPMC capsule can be opened and the contents stirred into water, juice or yoghurt, for example. Please note the strongly bitter taste of the three plant extracts. The easiest way is to take the whole capsule with sufficient liquid during a meal.

Is the product entirely natural?

The capsule contains milk thistle seed extract, artichoke leaf extract, dandelion root extract, choline bitartrate and rice flour as a natural carrier, enclosed in plant-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). We do entirely without gelatine, colours, preservatives and flavourings. The product is therefore vegan.

Are the milk thistle capsules available in pharmacies?

In Germany, Green Naturals® Milk Thistle Liver Complex can be ordered from your online or local pharmacy using PZN 20996496 (a German pharmacy code). Outside Germany, you can buy the capsules directly from the Green Naturals online shop. The product is a food supplement and does not require a pharmacy. Look out for the PZN to make sure you receive the original.
