Recommended Dosage for Silymarin Milk Thistle

Standardized extracts make the active constituents of herbs more effective. They isolate the most important compounds and purify them to predictable dosages. The world¡¯s best selling milk thistle product is a standardized extract.

It takes 70 pounds of milk thistle seeds to make one pound of extract purified to 70-80% silymarin (of which 80% is silybin, the most active and helpful constituent). Even this standardized extract has a problem though, inhibited bioavailability.

The standard dosage of Milk Thistle is 200 mg 2 to 3 times a day of an extract standardized to contain 70% silymarin.

There is some evidence that silymarin bound to phosphatidylcholine may be better absorbed. This form should be taken at a dosage of 100 to 200 mg twice a day.

Warning: Considering the severe nature of liver disease, a doctor's supervision is essential. Also, do not inject Milk Thistle preparations that are designed for oral use!
