Overview

['NOW Foods sells this as a double strength 300 mg silymarin milk thistle extract, adding artichoke and dandelion to the formula. It comes as a veg capsule, which suits shoppers who avoid gelatin, and the 250 count bottle is sized for an extended supply rather than a short trial.', 'The maker markets this product around liver function, framed as a manufacturer stated benefit rather than treatment of any condition. At a price near 28.50 dollars for 250 capsules, the per capsule cost is relatively low given the bottle size, and the gluten free, kosher and vegan labeling broadens who can use it.', "The rating sits at 4.6 from 69 reviews, a smaller review count than some of the bigger sellers in this category, with roughly 600 units reportedly bought in the last month. As with any supplement, it's worth talking with a healthcare professional before starting it, especially if you take medications or have a liver condition already being managed."]
