Analysis

This Mason Natural product combines 150mg of standardized Milk Thistle extract (Silymarin specified) with 500mg of Cranberry Whole Fruit Extract. The 150mg Silymarin is a decent dose, though on the lower end of common recommendations. The addition of cranberry is unusual for a liver-focused supplement, as it's typically for urinary tract health. This makes it a blend that may appeal to some for multi-purpose use, but it's less focused on liver/detox compared to pure milk thistle products, and the price per serving is higher.

Pros
  • Contains standardized 150mg Silymarin.
  • Includes cranberry for potential urinary tract benefits.
Cons
  • Silymarin dose is on the lower side.
  • Cranberry addition might not be relevant for primary 'detoxification' or 'skin health' goals and adds to cost.
  • Price per serving is higher than many pure milk thistle options.
Warnings
  • Not ideal if only seeking milk thistle for liver support, as part of the cost goes towards cranberry.

Goals
Detoxification 60.0
The standardized 150mg silymarin provides some liver detoxification support, but the inclusion of cranberry is irrelevant to this goal and means consumers might be paying for an ingredient not aligned with primary detoxification needs.
Skin Health 50.0
The milk thistle component offers indirect benefits to skin health by supporting liver function, but the cranberry addition provides no notable enhancement for this specific goal.
