A large, high-dose, single-ingredient liquid Milk Thistle extract for liver support, offering slightly better value than its smaller counterpart, but still expensive and lacks silymarin standardization.
Quantity: 60
Identical in formulation to ID 140113, this product offers 600mg of Milk Thistle seed extract per serving in an absorbable liquid form. Milk Thistle is a well-established herb for its hepatoprotective effects, making it relevant for detoxification. By supporting liver function, it can indirectly contribute to skin health by reducing the body's toxin burden. However, the absence of silymarin standardization means its precise potency for liver benefits is not explicitly stated. The primary advantage of this particular SKU is the larger quantity, which brings down the price per serving somewhat, making it marginally more cost-effective for regular use. Despite this improvement, its cost remains elevated when compared to many other standardized Milk Thistle supplements or multi-herb liver support formulas, diminishing its overall competitive edge in terms of value for money.
- Provides a substantial 600mg dose of Milk Thistle, beneficial for liver detoxification.
- Liquid form for potentially faster absorption and ease of use.
- Larger quantity offers a slightly better price per serving compared to the smaller bottle, improving value for consistent users.
- From Gaia Herbs, a brand known for quality herbal products.
- Lack of standardization to silymarin makes the exact active compound content uncertain.
- Despite the improved price, it remains relatively expensive per serving compared to many other standardized Milk Thistle supplements.
- As a single-ingredient product, it does not offer the broader synergistic benefits of multi-herb detoxification formulas or direct skin-specific ingredients.
- Accurate measurement of liquid supplements is crucial for consistent dosing.
- Pregnant or nursing individuals, and those with underlying health conditions, should consult a healthcare professional before starting new supplements.

Milk Thistle 58.0
This product delivers a high dose of Milk Thistle in a liquid format, which are positive aspects. The larger size offers improved value compared to its smaller counterpart. However, the lack of explicit silymarin standardization and the continued high price point relative to many other effective Milk Thistle supplements still limit its overall score within the collection.
Goals
Detoxification 62.0
The 600mg dose of Milk Thistle is a strong foundation for liver detoxification. The larger quantity offers better cost-effectiveness for long-term use compared to the smaller size. However, the absence of silymarin standardization means its exact potency is not as transparent as other products, and it does not offer the comprehensive multi-herb approach for detoxification found in higher-scoring alternatives.
Skin Health 48.0
Benefits for skin health are indirect, relying on improved liver function and systemic toxin reduction. While the larger size makes it more economical for sustained use, it does not contain specific skin-targeted ingredients or offer direct benefits for skin beyond supporting internal detoxification, and its overall cost is still high for this purpose.
