leaderboard Score 85.0
A highly bioavailable Milk Thistle supplement using Phytosome technology for superior absorption, offering excellent value for effective liver support.
The key strength of Swanson Milk Thistle Phytosome is its use of Siliphos, a patented Milk Thistle extract complexed with phospholipids to drastically improve the absorption and bioavailability of Silymarin. While it delivers 300mg of this complex per serving, the effective amount of Silymarin reaching the liver is significantly higher than with standard extracts, translating to potentially greater therapeutic benefits. This product offers excellent value for its advanced formulation and is backed by a reputable brand (Swanson) at a very accessible price point.
- Utilizes Siliphos Phytosome technology, which significantly enhances the bioavailability and absorption of Silymarin.
- Provides highly effective liver support due to improved absorption, making smaller doses more potent.
- Very competitive price per serving for an advanced, bioavailable formulation.
- May not be immediately clear to consumers that 300mg of phytosome is more effective than higher milligrams of standard Silymarin.
- Review count is moderate compared to some older, more widely recognized non-phytosome products.
