Third-party testing 7.0/10

Product Description

Jarrow extracts milk thistle seeds with ethanol, concentrates them to a 30:1 ratio, and encapsulates the powder in plant-based capsules. Each serving delivers 150 mg silymarin complex.

What We Like

  • High extraction ratio reduces pill count
  • Tested for heavy metals and aflatoxins
  • Vegan and low-allergen
  • Pairs well with NAC or TMG

What We’re Missing

  • No phospholipid matrix like Siliphos for enhanced absorption
  • Only 60 servings per bottle

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule twice daily with meals, especially fatty or alcohol-containing ones. For long-term use, take 1–2 week breaks periodically.
