NOW Milk Thistle Extract 300mg

Liver support, detoxification, and mild digestive health.. The milk thistle dose is adequate for general support. However, the dandelion root and artichoke are dosed too low to provide any meaningful benefit. This makes the product less effective than it could be.

8.0/10
