Milk Thistle offers a focused milk thistle supplement at a moderate serving cost.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality40

Silymarin is named, but the precise preparation and its separate amount remain unclear. Different milk thistle materials cannot be treated as equivalent quantities.

Ingredient Transparency100

The milk thistle amounts and named component are listed, helping identify the basic serving. Separate extract and component quantities should not be added together as though they were the same material.

Value For Money60

The selected serving offers moderate value in the relevant milk thistle comparison. Unresolved preparation details still limit closer comparisons with specific extracts.

Customer Satisfaction83

Customer ratings are favorable across a substantial number of reviews. The broad feedback base helps describe satisfaction without proving liver or detox benefits.

Product Focus81

Milk thistle provides a liver-related rationale, but findings for specific preparations do not establish routine toxin removal. The unresolved silymarin amount limits close comparison with those preparations.

Milk Thistle · 20 mg

Milk thistle is the credited liver-related ingredient, but disease-specific silymarin and silybin findings do not establish routine toxin removal. The 195 mg per serving receives partial amount credit. Silymarin is retained as present from the stored source despite incomplete imported linkage, with its separate amount unresolved; it is not added to the parent extract quantity.

How this product is rated for Liver & Detox

Ingredient fit86

Milk thistle is the sole credited ingredient with a declared amount.
Goal fit
Milk thistle is the sole credited ingredient with a declared amount.
Dose adequacy
Milk thistle receives partial amount credit; its quantity is not a proven routine detoxification dose.

Pathways46

The saved findings concentrate on liver-cell integrity and fat export; this describes assigned biological coverage rather than demonstrated toxin removal.
Depth
The strongest assigned coverage concerns liver-cell integrity and fat export, without demonstrating greater removal of toxins.
Breadth
Only liver-cell integrity and fat export reaches the coverage threshold; the other tracked areas do not.

Evidence88

Milk thistle receives the strongest assigned evidence weight, but disease- and preparation-specific findings do not establish routine toxin clearance.
Evidence strength
Milk thistle receives the strongest assigned evidence weight, but disease- and preparation-specific findings do not establish routine toxin clearance.
Studied preparation
The credited preparation is recognized in the saved findings, without establishing equivalence to every disease-specific intervention.

Formulation logic100

Credited ingredients have no missing required partner, and no configured ingredient conflict was identified.
Partner coverage
Every credited ingredient works independently or has its required partner; this does not establish a combined clearance benefit.
Conflicts
No configured ingredient conflict was identified.
Effective doses
Every credited ingredient meets the comparison's amount threshold; this is not proof of an effective toxin-clearance dose.
