Frequently Asked Questions about Milk Thistle Extract

What is Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) seed extract?

Milk Thistle is a tall, spiny plant, botanically named Silybum marianum, in the daisy family (Asteraceae). It is native to the Mediterranean and now grows widely across the world. Its most recognizable feature is its glossy green leaves marbled with distinctive white veins - a pattern that, by legend, was said to come from the milk of the Virgin Mary, which is the source of both the name "milk thistle" and the traditional name St Mary's thistle. The plant produces a purple, thistle-like flower head, and the small hard seeds it leaves behind are the part we use. Those seeds naturally contain a group of flavonolignans collectively called silymarin. Our extract is made from the dried seed and offered in two forms - an alcohol-free glycerite and a traditional alcohol-based tincture. Each batch is made from carefully sourced raw material. This is a whole-seed liquid extract that carries the plant's natural spectrum of constituents, not an isolated or standardized single-compound product, and we label it clearly by botanical name and plant part.

What is the difference between the alcohol-free drops and the tincture?

Both are liquid extracts of the same Silybum marianum seed; only the solvent differs. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, giving it a naturally mild taste that suits those who avoid alcohol. The tincture uses alcohol as the traditional solvent, with vegetable glycerin and water. Both deliver the seed's constituents in a convenient liquid you take by the drop. Choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol; choose the tincture for a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life.

Is this standardized silymarin, and is it the same as blessed thistle?

No on both counts, and both points cause confusion. First, silymarin: many milk thistle products are standardized extracts concentrated to a fixed percentage (often 80%) of silymarin. Our product is different - it is a whole-seed liquid extract that preserves the seed's own natural spectrum of constituents, including its naturally occurring silymarin, rather than being concentrated to a single fixed marker level. If you are specifically looking for a standardized 80% silymarin product, that is a different type of supplement. Second, blessed thistle: despite the similar name, blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus) is a completely different plant and a different herb from milk thistle (Silybum marianum); they should not be confused. Milk thistle also goes by the traditional names St Mary's thistle, Marian thistle and blessed milk thistle. We label our product clearly by botanical name (Silybum marianum), plant part (seed) and format (liquid extract) so there is no confusion with silymarin isolates or with blessed thistle.

How do I use Milk Thistle liquid extract?

Shake well before use. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. Drink the entire contents.

Is Milk Thistle extract right for everyone? Safety and storage.

Milk thistle is generally well tolerated, but it is not right for everyone. Because it belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae), people allergic to ragweed, daisies, marigolds or chrysanthemums may react to it and should use caution. Some people notice mild digestive upset. If you are pregnant or nursing, take any medication, or have a medical condition, talk with a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children, and do not exceed the suggested serving. Store as directed on the label. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
