This NOW product is labeled 'Maximum Strength Milk Thistle Extract 750 mg.' However, the ingredients list multiple entries for milk thistle extract without specifying silymarin standardization. This is a critical omission for a 'maximum strength' product and makes its true potency highly questionable. While NOW is generally a reputable brand, the lack of standardization for the active compound means that the high 'mg' quantity does not necessarily translate to effective liver support or detoxification benefits.
- High total quantity of milk thistle extract.
- Reputable brand (NOW).
- Critically lacks silymarin standardization, making 'Maximum Strength' claim misleading for efficacy.
- Ambiguous ingredient listing (appears to list 750mg twice for different forms).
- Do not rely on 'mg' quantity alone; look for specified silymarin content. This product is likely less effective than standardized options.

Detoxification 50.0
The product's purported high dose of milk thistle extract lacks silymarin standardization, rendering its effectiveness for liver detoxification speculative and likely suboptimal compared to competitors with specified active compound levels.
Skin Health 35.0
Without a clear indication of standardized silymarin, the product's indirect support for skin health through detoxification remains unverified and less reliable than options that guarantee active ingredient potency.
