Looking for a high quality milk thistle

ad

Supplements are mind boggling. You research them and get so much mixed reviews. I usually go straight to the 1 star reviews and read those. I have my reason or maybe I’m just a glass half empty guy. But when I put something in my body no homo lol I like to have the best if possible. I will wait for Rusty, Press and the others to have fun with this one.

Have you ever tried European milk thistle?

Musclemem's picture

What’s that? I didn’t know there was such a thing. I never really thought about where the Milk Thistle was grown or made. Toniiq is very high quality but I wash it didn’t contain the Magnesium Stearate. Thorne is overrated in my opinion and Life Extension is very good and so far Pure Encapsulations is the best of them all in my opinion. What is European Milk Thistle?

I’m learning so much about supplements which I’m sure many of you already know. Look at labels closely. Stay away from any products with Magnesium Stearate or rice flour and several others. Maltodextrin it’s not a sugar but it’s has similar properties and is much higher on the GI scale than refined white sugar. Look up what each ingredient is and decide if you want that in your regimen. I’m really getting to frustrated with all these companies marketing tactics making it seam we are getting top notch products with nothing bad in them. Yes these products may be natural but so is many other poisons but since it’s called “NATURAL” we think it’s good for us, or at least I did.

Just as long as the brand's main ingredients is Milk Thistle Seed Extract(Silymarin 60-80%)and not a "proprietary blend" It was good enough to me. Also, if you like artichokes ....artichoke leaf contains copious amounts of silymarin. The anti oxidant flavonoid silymarin is extracted from milk thistle seeds and is well known as a liver protectant.

Looks legit. 80% silymarin extracted from milk thistle seeds...can't go wrong with that. Those and some artichoke leafs daily for the win and top shelf liver protection. A product called Liv52DS by a company called Himalaya is a good addition too.

I always thought now was garbage because it was so cheap and available everywhere but now after you guys are all saying NOW I started. Researching them and they are a really good company. They do use fillers but they’re I hate supposed to be very good.

Have you guys ever tried Thorne, Life Extensions, Pure Encapsulations or Toniiq? I personally really like these as well as Pure Vitamin Club. What’s your thoughts on these manufacturers?

I like the Nutrivolv one buddy - You can buy it from ebay or go direct to their website. They do both capsules and tablets but I like the capsules, open 4 up into a drink together with Choline Bit, Inositol, Vit C & NAC and that serves as the liver drink! Lol I have a kidney drink too Lmao

I would strongly recommend going with that one mate as its nice and cheap but great quality and you will be using a lot of it, but it also is proper MT. I have bought and tried others on ebay that claim to be Mega Dose capsules and they have turned out to be God knows what inside - filler or something and Defo NOT milk thistle. Anything with 'Pharma' after it trying to look all high grade stay away from because it tends to be shite LOL

I totally agree bro.. I used it last year.. I had an ulcer in my stomach before and it was good even for that, I don't know why, but it increased my appetite.
