BulkSupplements.com Milk Thistle Extract Powder Gluten Free Herbal Supplement for Liver Health Support 1 Kilogram Pack of 1

Just started taking the supplement last week. So far, so good. I was told by the doctor I have a fatty liver due to the weight I hold around my midsection. I am dieting and exercising in an attempt rid myself of my excess weight. I was told by a co-worker that Milk Thistle is great for the liver so I bought this in hopes of helping things along. I take 1/8 tsp once a day. I mix it in my ACV and Turmeric shot at night. Can be hard to dissolve but nothing too bad. I would recommend this product.

Update: they don't state it on the page here on Dropy (or the packaging itself, for that matter), but their web site does clarify that this extract is 80% silymarin. Which is quite good - as it only comprises 1.5 - 3% of the dried thistle.I have found BulkSupplements to be a reliable company that provides a quality product at a reasonable price. As for the Milk Thistle extract, my interest in it was as a p-glycoprotein inhibitor - which significantly enhances the absorption of Berberine, a supplement that aids in the management of glucose. I say this based off of the current research available. For more information, I highly recommend examine. com , as it is an excellent resource that provides information on a number of supplements.My father has Type 2 diabetes, and a number of other ailments, and I am trying to reduce the amount of prescription medications that he needs to take, as well as improve his overall quality of life. It's been several months now that he has been supplementing with it. His first A1C after being on this for several months was the first drop in that metric over the last four. So, it definitely appears to be working. In a couple of weeks, we'll get the next set of results.

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.
