What’s inside this formula?
Nature's Bounty’s Milk Thistle Extract 175 mg is listed here in the milk thistle collection. This article looks at the selected 100 capsules pack, then puts its ingredients into context.
175 mg milk thistle seed extract standardized to 80% silymarin (140 mg) per capsule.
Check the original label ↗Milk thistle extracts contain a mixture of compounds commonly called silymarin. They have a long history of use and are often promoted for liver health. Studying liver-related markers is reasonable, but that does not establish liver repair or protection, and different extracts may provide different mixtures and amounts of constituents.
The pack details above come from the manufacturer. Ingredient research below does not establish the effects of this exact product or independently verify its contents.
Extract and silymarin are nested amounts
The 140 mg silymarin is contained within the 175 mg extract, not an extra ingredient weight. One capsule is a serving; the photographed bottle contains 100.
Check the complete capsule
Maltodextrin, gelatin, silica and vegetable magnesium stearate accompany the extract. The gelatin makes the complete formula animal-derived.
Keep traditional claims separate
The manufacturer discusses traditional liver use. This label does not demonstrate that the bottle treats liver disease or counteracts alcohol damage. Allergy and medication checks remain relevant.
Where might it be useful?
A characterized botanical mixture
Silymarin content helps describe the extract, although standardization alone does not demonstrate a health benefit.
A liver-research ingredient
Milk thistle has been studied in liver conditions, with conflicting or insufficient evidence of useful effects.
What the research can — and cannot — tell us
NCCIH reports that trials of liver disease have been conflicting or too limited for conclusions. Two NIH-supported trials did not show benefit for hepatitis C or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Neither traditional use nor antioxidant activity proves that this listed formula cleanses, heals or protects the liver.
What deserves your attention?
Contains gelatin. Avoid with ragweed or daisy-family allergy. Manufacturer excludes under-18s and advises review with medicines, medical conditions, pregnancy or nursing.
Suitability comes before strength
Digestive symptoms and allergic reactions can occur, particularly with related plant allergies. Review medicines and pregnancy or breastfeeding use. Abnormal liver tests, jaundice or persistent abdominal symptoms need assessment rather than self-treatment.
