Can't live w/out it! Since I love to have a glass of wine or two at nite and I've been told that milk thistle is a cleansing herb; I wouldn't think of not taking it! July 24, 2009

benefits from taking this product I have seen such a difference in my husband after starting on milk thistle for the benefits of his liver health. His energy went back to 90% improvement than without any supplementation at all. He himself comments weekly on how well he feels and is quick to recommend it to all of his friends. The price is also such a great relief during these times of economic difficulties. July 23, 2009
Great Value The price on this can't be beat. Not one with this potency. Beware of other brands. Some are contaminated with lead or cadmium. Swanson has never failed ConsumerLab testing for contamination or adulteration. July 7, 2009
Skin Ordor I had an awful ordor coming from my skin. After taking milk thistle in combination with red clover the smell has gone away. I feel really good about these products and would recommend it for anyone who has a uncontrolable ordor coming out of their skin. June 3, 2009
Milk Thistle Milk thistle is said to protect the liver. In addition it is now known that it is an excellent antioxidant. I prefer to use products that are as natural (close to the way they appear in nature) as possible. This product has done what I expected it to do and as a result I feel much better than many folks much younger than I. June 3, 2009
Great Value! This "Swanson Superior Herbs" line of milk thistle contains 50% "whole seed" and the other 50% contains an 80% standardized extract, making for a great value for the price.... The difference between this line of milk thistle and the "Swanson Premium" Full Spectrum Milk Thistle is that the "Full Spectrum Milk Thistle" does not contain any extract. March 11, 2009
This is a good value, and great for your liver. Glad that there is both the extract and the powdered root. Although I can't say it helps my hangovers be any shorter though. February 9, 2009
Wonderful product! I believe this product is why I have a healthy liver. I first read about Milk Thistle for liver function in an article at my pharmacy. I don't think I would do as well without it! February 4, 2009
Great liver protector This is a quality product for liver protection. A standardized extract formulation assures one of superior potency. As a Reiki Master, I must be aware of and rely on quality products which is why I shop at Swanson. December 12, 2007
Vital for your liver health. I try to maintain a healthy liver w/this product. October 10, 2007
Prevents flushing Taken with 500 mg of niacin, 250 mg of milk thistle prevents the flushing I generally experience with that much niacin. October 10, 2007
