BulkSupplementscom Milk Thistle Extract Powder - Herbal Extract for Liver Health, Milk Thistle Supplement - Gluten Free, 250mg per Serving, 100g (3.5 oz) (Pack of 1)

The name says it all.Great quality product, outstanding customer service, and very good sturdy resealable packaging.Save your money and fill your own pills.I couldn't be happier with their products.Great value, price is right. I would buy this one over many competing products because I trust their quality and effectiveness.I use this both as part of liver detox (600mg 3x daily) and support (200 mg once per day) about 30 minutes before a meal with lots of water. It does an excellent job at both.I think its important to realize a few things when using supplements and I believe it's unfair to blame company's for lack of results if you don't take it correctly.1) Use the correct measurement (Use real measuring spoons and sensitive scales) and dose for your purpose. Just like figuring out giving kids medicine figure out the correct amount (e.g. mg) for the Strength (e.g. extract strength) and purpose (e.g. Cleanse vs support)2) Evaluate the product without taking other products (Especially for the same purpose) should be obvious but you'll never know which one is working. Some supplements work against other supplements. Don't use a shotgun approach throwing every supplement in the book at what you are doing.3) Take it long enough, some supplements have to build up, some work right away. Do your research.4) Take it at the right time and frequency. Empty stomach or with meal? Divide the dosage or take all at once? Morning, night, pre-workout or post-work out or anytime?5) Know the signs of it working, if you are detoxing you won't necessarily feel better right away since you are getting out toxins and the toxins releasing into your blood stream may give you headaches or mess with your body chemistry.6) Eat right and drink lots of water, how can you detox while drinking that beer and eating pizza at 1:00 AM. Your body needs the water to flush.7) Don't write a negative review just because it didn't work for you. I think it is just fine to say it didn't work but you can't just blame the company. Not everyone is built the same so you may have to try to find what works for you. Some people with allergies may have a reaction to milk thistle. Many people don't do the above while taking one product only later to start doing the above and then claim that the new product works better. You have to keep all the conditions the same to really evaluate.Good luck and get to it.

Although Milk thistle is used most often for liver disorders, including liver damage caused by chemicals, Amanita phalloides mushroom poisoning, jaundice, chronic inflammatory liver disease, cirrhosis of the liver, and chronic hepatitis as well as hepatitis A, B and C., I purchased it for it's other health benefits. I will admit, it has a taste that requires getting used to, but if added flavoring then it would most likely not be a 'natural' product. I like that it comes in a heavy-duty sealable package, as well as delivered in just a couple of days after ordering.The United States National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have catalogued more than 400 scientific studies of milk thistle and its active compounds in their medicine database. Which was my main reason for purchasing. These studies reflect what generations past knew and depended on - that milk thistle is one of the most valuable and beneficial herbal remedies and treatments available anywhere in the world.Liver related conditions indicating the use of milk thistle are varied, including, but not limited to:Alcoholic cirrhosisChronic active hepatitisDrug and alcohol induced liver damageAcute viral hepatitisFatty liver, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)Fibrosis and CirrhosisHepatic toxicity caused by steroid usageEnvironmental sensitivities and toxinsA medical condition that necessitates the use of hepatotoxic medicationsRegular moderate-to-heavy alcohol useExperimental and clinical studies suggest that milk thistle extracts also have the following non-liver related benefits:Lowers cholesterol levels, which benefits the heartReduces the growth of cancer cells in breast, lung, colon, prostate, cervical and renal cancersFunctions as a therapeutic agent for the prevention of Alzheimer's diseaseImproves blood sugar levelsContains numerous anti-aging propertiesReduces cell damage caused by radiation and chemotherapy treatmentsSupplements sunscreen protection and may be useful against multiple types of skin diseaseWorks as a free radical scavenger and powerful antioxidantReduces hot flashes and other related menopausal symptomsHelps with intestinal / indigestion issuesReduces the effects of deathcap mushroom (Amanita phalloides) poisoning

Great value, trusted brand (several purchases and re-purchases on Amazon over the years), and an EXCELLENT product if you are into improving your liver function or you overall health.Google Milk Thistle Seed Extract and liver cancer to see images of before and after as Milk Thistle Seed Extract rebuilds damaged/missing liver tissue in a short amount of time. Google Milk Thistle Seed Extract and poison to read about the tons of accounts where they've given this to people who've eaten poison mushrooms and then the ER gave them tons of Milk Thistle Seed Extract which saved their lives. Milk Thistle Seed Extract is truly amazing.Oddly, if you suffer from red-face from just one beer (also known as Asian Drinking Syndrome), then take three doses three times a day for a few months and to your amazement you may not get the red face and itchy skin anymore; this was an experiment I tried on my friend who is Asian and now he can drink 4 beers without any redness instead of getting red and itchy at one beer.If you are serious about your liver health combine this with Grape Seed Extract, as they have a synergistic effect and it's safe for anyone.This is also something that you can take pre-drinking and post-drinking to prevent a hangover (within reason).These can be encapsulated or you can just mix with water as it doesn't taste too bad.
