I take Milk Thistle every day. I also take LIV52 along with it. Liv52 can also be purchased here on Amazon and go there to read my review on that one for a more detailed account of how these products have worked for me.
I have had issues with high liver enzymes and fatty liver and so I take Milk Thistle and Liv52 to lower them. In looking for Milk Thistle, I looked at every product here on Amazon and did the math on each. First:
ONLY BUY STANDARDIZED MILK THISTLE!
This one offers TWO bottles of 200 each (400 caps) at 175mg, or 140 mg of standardized Silymarin, the stuff that does the job. Silymarin is the ingredient in the plant, Sylibum marianum, or milk thistle the common name. There is 175 mg of Sylibum marianum in a cap. When it is said to be Standardized, that means the Sylibum marianum contains 80% of the ingredient silymarin or 140 mg Silymarin. If the product isn't standardized to 80%, they may contain only small amounts of the stuff that does the job and a bunch of stuff that does nothing at all.
If you figure the total mg of the stuff that does the work, Silymarin in each product and divide the cost per milligram, this one comes out to be the best deal by far. Many products offer higher doses per pill, but you only get 100 count or sometimes less. I take 4 caps per day, 2 in the morning and 2 at night which gives me 560mg per day. That is perfect. At 4 a day this is a 100 day supply.
Bottom line, for the STANDARDIZED Milk Thistle offered on Amazon, mg per dollar, this is the best deal. I am just Joe Consumer here and like to pass on my research for those who can benefit from it.
Thanks!

First of all, only buy supplements from reputable companies. I have been taking 21st Century supplements since I was a child, so I know they are an excellent, tried and tested company. And only buy Standardized 80% Silymarin. Other companies advertise that their product has more than 1000 mg and they are even cheaper than this, but they do not mention how much Silymarin there is inside their product. It probably has very little Silymarin, or none at all. NEVER scrimp on things you put into your body. There are other excellent brand as well, but they do not have this offer of 2 bottles of 200. This is the best price for quality Milk Thistle.

My husband had a very high liver function test from his blood work. AST was 57 and ALT was 111. We bought this product - after 6 months, his lab results on his liver function are now in the normal range. We are so pleased that his liver is functioning correctly. Thank you for the prior reviews, that lead us to this product.
