Strong for liver support due to high-dose NAC, but the milk thistle component lacks standardization, limiting its specific efficacy.
This Dr. Mercola product is primarily a NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine) supplement, providing a high dose of 500mg, which is a powerful antioxidant and glutathione precursor highly beneficial for liver health and detoxification. It also includes 300mg of Milk Thistle seed extract and 50mg of organic Broccoli powder. However, the milk thistle component is not specified as standardized for silymarin, which is a significant drawback for its specific contribution. While NAC is excellent for detoxification, the milk thistle's potency remains uncertain.
- Contains a high dose of NAC, excellent for liver health and detoxification.
- Includes organic Broccoli powder.
- Milk Thistle extract is not standardized for silymarin, meaning unknown potency for its specific contribution.
- Higher price per serving.
- Not a primary milk thistle supplement if specific silymarin dosage is desired.
