Scientific Consensus

Supplementing with this supplement is likely safe at the recommended serving size, but large servings can be dangerous to your health.

Milk Thistle has the potential to interact with a large number of medications, and caution should be used.

I have taken milk thistle supplements for years to protect my liver and detoxify my body and LM's milk thistle extract does not disappoint. It's not the cheapest option on the market but I really like the fact the product is lab tested for potency and also for heavy metals/additives. And as always, customer service and shipping is on point!
