leaderboard Score 30.0
A broad 'cleansing complex' with a critically underdosed milk thistle component, likely ineffective for specific detoxification or skin health goals.
This Swanson product is a 'complex' blend targeting general detoxification, rather than a focused milk thistle supplement. While it contains Milk Thistle extract, the stated 20mg of Silymarin is extremely low and unlikely to provide significant therapeutic benefits for liver support. It includes numerous other herbs like Dandelion, Psyllium Husk, and Ginger, aiming for broad cleansing, but the efficacy of each component at its listed dose is questionable, leading to a diluted effect for specific health goals.
- Contains a wide array of herbs for general 'cleansing'.
- Very low dose of active milk thistle (silymarin).
- Multi-ingredient blend means individual ingredients might be underdosed for therapeutic effect.
- Higher price per serving for minimal specific benefit.
- Not suitable if seeking a potent milk thistle supplement.
- May not provide significant benefits for 'detoxification' or 'skin health' due to low potency of key ingredients.

Goals
Detoxification 25.0
The extremely low quantity of standardized silymarin (20mg) in the milk thistle extract means it falls significantly short of providing effective liver detoxification benefits, and the other ingredients are in quantities too small for a potent, targeted effect.
Skin Health 20.0
The product's overall diluted formulation and the negligible amount of effective milk thistle make its potential for indirectly supporting skin health through detoxification largely ineffective compared to targeted supplements.
