leaderboard Score 30.0
Very expensive, unstandardized freeze-dried whole milk thistle, unlikely to provide targeted silymarin benefits for detoxification.
This Eclectic Herb product provides a large quantity (2400mg) of 'Milk Thistle, Freeze-Dried, Fresh.' While freeze-drying retains nutrients, it does not concentrate active compounds like a standardized extract would. There is no standardization for silymarin, which is crucial for therapeutic effects. This product's efficacy for concentrated silymarin benefits is highly questionable, as the high 'mg' quantity of whole herb does not equate to active ingredient potency. Its price per serving is also very high, making it a poor value proposition for targeted milk thistle benefits.
- Freeze-dried for potential full-spectrum benefits.
- Extremely high price per serving.
- No silymarin standardization, making effectiveness for liver support unknown.
- '2400mg' is misleading if not concentrated silymarin.
- Very expensive for an unstandardized product. Efficacy for targeted silymarin benefits is doubtful.

Goals
Detoxification 30.0
The product provides whole, freeze-dried milk thistle but lacks standardization for silymarin, the active compound, making its efficacy for targeted liver detoxification uncertain and potentially inefficient.
Skin Health 20.0
Without a verified amount of active silymarin, the product's ability to significantly impact skin health through liver support is questionable and less reliable than standardized milk thistle supplements.
