Natural Factors Milk Thistle Phytosome capsules are standardized to 80% Silymarin, a mixture of valuable flavonolignans, bound to phosphatidylcholine (from lecithin) to enhance bioavailability. Numerous clinical studies show that Silymarin supports and promotes liver function in healthy individuals, providing an antioxidant effect on the liver, fortifying it. Dandelion, artichoke and turmeric have been traditionally used and scientifically studied for their support of liver health and have been added to enhance the formula. (Phytosomes are herbal substances that are combined with phosphatidylcholine molecules to enhance absorption and bioavailability. This new molecule is both water and fat soluble.)
- Healthy liver support: Natural Factors Milk Thistle extract contains silymarin which has been shown to promote healthy liver function.
- A long history of use: Milk thistle has been used medicinally for over 2,000 years, most commonly for the treatment of liver and gallbladder disorders. Silymarin comes from the seeds of milk thistle and is believed to be the active part of milk thistle.
- Local, organic, and non-gmo: Because Natural Factors Farms are certified organic, we don't pollute the earth with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. We grow true species non-hybridized, non-GMO seeds, including many open-pollinated varieties. Growing locally also helps reduce the carbon emissions from overseas transportation, and keep jobs in the community.
- Just the right size: We believe we need to be big enough to do it right. We are one of the only nutritional companies to have our own organic farms, our own extraction, encapsulation, and production facilities, our own labs and research facilities. We are also one of the few branded manufacturers of nutraceuticals in North America to have our own softgel encapsulation facility.
- Third-party certified: Independently tested for GMOs and over 700 contaminants using advanced technology such as mass spectrometry to ensure purity and potency
