Why Choose Solgar Milk Thistle?
Solgar combines whole Milk Thistle herb with a standardised Milk Thistle seed extract, providing a broader botanical profile while ensuring a consistent source of the plant’s characteristic active compounds.
Milk Thistle is particularly valued for silymarin, a collective term for several naturally occurring flavonolignans found predominantly in the seeds.
Rather than positioning Milk Thistle as a general-purpose “detox”, this formula is best suited to adults looking for targeted liver and antioxidant nutritional support as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Warnings & Precautions
Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition.
Milk Thistle belongs to the Asteraceae/Compositae family. Individuals with known allergies to plants such as ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums or related species should use caution.
Milk Thistle may interact with certain medicines through effects on drug-metabolising pathways. Seek professional advice if taking regular prescription medication.
Use caution if taking blood glucose-lowering medication, as Milk Thistle may potentially influence glucose control.
Mild gastrointestinal effects or allergic reactions may occur in some individuals.
Milk Thistle is widely used to support liver wellbeing but should not be represented as treating liver disease, reversing liver damage or medically “detoxifying” the liver.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
