## Description

Silymarin (360 mg) ​Promotes Glutathione Production* Softgels for Improved Solubility Milk thistle has been used by traditional herbalists for centuries. Clinical and non-clinical studies have indicated that milk thistle extract may help maintain healthy liver function through its ability to promote glutathione production, as well as by supporting the body’s normal detoxification processes.* NOW® Extra Strength Silymarin has three times the milk thistle extract (450 mg per softgel) as in our regular strength product (150 mg per capsule). Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Silymarin Supports Your Liver - I've been confident in buying supplements through Now Foods for years. I especially like the fact that their supplements are GMP certified for potency and listed ingredients. In fact, NOW was one of the first dietary supplement manufacturers in the year 2000 to seek Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification when it first came available. (SEE PIC) They undergo re-certification each year, consistently maintaining an ‘A’ rating by the National Products Association (NPA) after an intense audit process. This is your assurance you're buying a quality supplement not just for now but in the years ahead. I chose this particular Milk Thistle formula because of it's extra strength potency. It's offers 450mg of Milk Thistle extract versus 150mg which is is the standard potency. It's what the Vet recommended for my 9 year old dog when his blood tests showed his liver enzymes were slightly elevated. I compared this product with others being sold out there less expensively but the extract and flavonoid potency was considerably less per soft gel. Granted these soft gels might be a little larger than others sold out there on the market. However, their not exceptionally large with the size being around 7/8th of an inch in length and 3/16ths of a inch in diameter. (SEE PIC) I also like the fact that even when Now marks their prices down on desertcart they don't substitute the purchase with instead older stocked items. I've seen that happen with other sellers and like you I hate to be ripped off. (SEE PIC) Personally, I really think this purchase is a winner and in my case, I'm sure my dog will thank me for it. Everyone Stay Healthy and make sure that Includes your Pets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the copper content of this?**
A: There is no copper in this product.

**Q: How large are these softgels and are they round or oval shaped?**
A: Long oval shape

**Q: What color are the pills supposed to be? I ordered this brand before and they were yellow. These are dark brown. Is this right or is something wrong?**
A: They’re actually closer to a dark burgundy color

**Q: Is this product safe?**
A: It's always recommended that you talk to your healthcare provider before taking any vitamins or minerals which might interact with any prescribed medications that you're already taking orally. Personally, milk thistle at a dosage level of 450 mgs was recommended by my veterinarian to treat my older dog's elevated blood protein levels showing in his liver.  He's been taking one pill a day for the last 3 months with no adverse side effects. He sees the vet again after 6 months. The rare but common side effects I was told to watch out for in the case of humans and animals was diarrhea, bloating, gas, and an upset stomach. Milk thistle can also cause allergic reactions such as skin rashes and hives. Most health professionals seem to consider the product safe and non toxic.. However, everyone's situation is different as it relates to pre existing conditions and whether such a supplement is advisable or not.  That's why seeking the advice of a health care professional is always recommended.
