    What to know

    Milk thistle seed contains a group of compounds called silymarin. Full Spectrum means the whole ground seed, not a concentrated extract, so the silymarin content per capsule is much lower than in standardised extracts used in most trials. Milk thistle is the most studied herb for the liver, but results are mixed and it does not treat liver disease.

    Who should check first

    • Liver conditions: see your doctor. Do not self-treat.
    • Allergic to daisy family plants: milk thistle is in this family.
    • Diabetes medicine, or pregnant or breastfeeding: check with your doctor first.
