Milk Thistle
Guides and comparisons How to read a supplement label in the EU
Milk thistle capsules, softgels, tablets and liquid extracts, from single-ingredient products to blends with dandelion and artichoke. Capsule titles show figures from 100 mg to 750 mg and packs of 30 to 200 capsules, and the liquids are about 30 ml. The ingredient list shows whether a product contains milk thistle seed, an extract or both, and whether silymarin is declared. In a blend, compare the amount of milk thistle on its own, because each plant has its own entry in the nutrition table.

Frequently asked questions
What is silymarin on a milk thistle label?
Silymarin is the name for a group of compounds found in milk thistle seed. Some labels declare it, either in milligrams or as a percentage of the extract. That figure is separate from the amount of extract in each capsule, so note which of the two a product states before comparing.
What do double strength and maximum strength mean on milk thistle products?
They are manufacturer wording with no fixed definition, so two products that carry the same words can differ. Compare the milligrams of milk thistle in each capsule and the capsules in the daily serving, and check whether those milligrams are seed, extract or the combined weight of several plants.
Why do some milk thistle products also list dandelion, artichoke or yellow dock?
These are combination formulas, and the ingredient list names every plant in descending order of weight. The nutrition table gives each amount separately, so the amount of milk thistle is only part of the serving. To compare a blend with a single-ingredient capsule, use that amount instead of the combined milligrams.
