Common Questions

What is silymarin in Milk Thistle?
Silymarin is a mixture of characteristic compounds extracted from milk thistle, commonly from the seeds. BestSource Milk Thistle uses seed extract standardized to 80% silymarin for consistent liver-wellness support.
What does 80% silymarin standardisation mean?
It means the Milk Thistle extract is standardized to contain 80% silymarin, giving a defined and consistent level of its key botanical compounds in every serving.

What is the difference between liver support and liver detox?
Liver support focuses on nutrition and botanicals that complement normal liver function. “Detox” can imply cleansing or removing toxins, so BestSource prefers the more accurate liver wellness support approach.
Can Milk Thistle repair liver damage?
BestSource Milk Thistle provides standardized silymarin as part of a liver-wellness and antioxidant-support routine.
Is Milk Thistle safe for daily use?
BestSource Milk Thistle can be taken once daily with or after a meal, which may be easier on the stomach. Dandelion Root infusion is better suited to the morning or daytime; avoid it close to bedtime if it increases urination. Always follow the individual product directions.
What is the best time to take Milk Thistle or Dandelion Root?
No. A supplement should never be presented as protection against alcohol-related harm or as a way to "cleanse" after overindulgence. Reducing alcohol exposure and seeking medical advice when needed are more important.
Can Milk Thistle and Dandelion Root be used in the same wellness routine?
They offer different botanical formats and may be included in the same wellness routine when appropriate. BestSource Milk Thistle provides 80% standardized silymarin, while Dandelion Root offers a simple herbal infusion option.
