NOW Foods Milk Thistle Extract with Artichoke & Dandelion, 300mg Double Strength, 50 vcaps

NOW Foods Milk Thistle Extract with Artichoke and Dandelion – 300 mg per capsule

NOW Foods Milk Thistle Extract with Artichoke & Dandelion is a food supplement in vegetable capsules that combines three plants. Each capsule contains 300 mg of milk thistle extract, 100 mg of dandelion root and 50 mg of artichoke leaf. The milk thistle extract is standardised so that 300 mg of extract contain 240 mg of silymarin flavonoids, i.e. 80%. The manufacturer calls the product double strength because each capsule contains twice as much milk thistle extract as the regular NOW Foods milk thistle product, which has 150 mg per capsule. The container holds 50 vegetable capsules. The product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Which plants does the product contain?

Milk thistle is an annual or biennial plant of the daisy family, with characteristic white veins on its leaves and purplish flower heads. The fruits and seeds of the plant are used to make the extract. Silymarin is a group of flavonoids found in milk thistle fruits, and the extract is standardised to its content – which means that every capsule contains a defined amount of silymarin flavonoids. Dandelion is a very common perennial plant whose root is used dried and ground. Artichoke is a vegetable plant originating from the Mediterranean, and its leaves are also used dried. No nutrient reference value has been established for any of these ingredients, which is why the %NRV column of the nutrition table shows two asterisks.

How to use?

According to the label, take one capsule one to three times a day. Swallow the capsule with a glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. If you use other food supplements containing milk thistle, dandelion or artichoke at the same time, take their amounts into account too. After opening, keep the container in a cool, dry place and close the lid tightly after use.
