How does milk thistle extract differ from ordinary seed powder? — Milk thistle extract capsules No. 60 - Fortex

The card contains no comparison with ordinary seed powder. The description is a general reference on the seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum): they contain fatty oil and essential oil, chromones, resins, biogenic amines and a complex of flavonolignans, the main ones being silybin, silydianin and silychristin (the complex is called silymarin). The product name is «Maarjaohaka ekstrakt N60» (milk thistle extract, 60 pieces per pack); the silymarin content of the extract, the method of standardisation, the form (capsules or tablets), the composition and the dose are not stated on the card.

General information (not a manufacturer's claim): without the manufacturer's data it is impossible to say how much more «concentrated» this extract is than the seeds; see the packaging for the composition and dose. This is a food supplement, not a medicine; in the case of liver and gallbladder diseases, pregnancy, breastfeeding or taking medicines, consult a doctor before taking it.
