The Solgar Milk Thistle in a pack of 50 phytocapsules is a dietary supplement with a titled extract of milk thistle seeds (Silybum marianum). Each phytocapsule provides 98mg of extract, of which 75mg is silymarin, and the daily dose is one phytocapsule.
It is the choice for anyone trying milk thistle for the first time or using it periodically and seasonally and does not want to commit to a large package. With one phytocapsule a day, the 50 pieces cover about one month and nineteen days.
The active part of milk thistle is not in the thorny leaf or the purple flower, but in the seeds. Flavonolignans that make up silymarin are concentrated there. To get this substance into a capsule, the seeds are cleaned, ground and extracted with a solvent that is then removed, leaving a powder rich in flavonolignans and poor in inert material.
The difference between a simple ground herb and a titled extract is a matter of concentration and control. In a titled extract, the amount of the active compound is listed and verified in detail in each batch, while in the ground seed it depends on the variety, the soil and the year of harvest. For the consumer, this means that the second package they buy will yield as much as the first.
According to the product presentation by Solgar, Milk Thistle is associated with the following points:
The above statements are attributed to the producer. Silymarin does not have an approved health claim by the EFSA and its action remains a subject of research, as claims for botanicals are under review.
The small package makes sense for herbs: it allows one to test tolerance to a new herbal preparation before committing to long-term use. The composition is limited to one active ingredient and three variants, without additional herbs that would complicate the recognition of any intolerances.
The free-from statement of Solgar covers sugar, starch, gluten, wheat, dairy, soy, yeast, sweeteners, artificial fragrances and colours. The hydroxypropylmethylcellulose shell makes the product suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
It suits adults trying milk thistle for the first time and wanting a small commitment. It suits those who use it seasonally or periodically, for example in certain times of the year. It suits people who travel and prefer a smaller jar in their bag. It also suits those who want a herbal preparation without gelatine and without allergens such as wheat and soy.
