NOW Supplements, Silymarin Milk Thistle Extract 300 mg with Artichoke and Dandelion, Double Strength, Supports Liver Function*, 200 Veg Capsules

Helped my son with OCD

My teenage son has been suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder for several years. We tried many different things including cognitive therapy, EFT and inositol supplement with no relief. It was breaking my heart to see his agony and I started reading research papers on the subject. I found a paper that discussed milk thistle as a treatment for OCD and that it's as effective or better than Prozac to treat OCD. Although I was skeptical since we already tried so many things with no avail, we started a regimen of one capsule of this product twice a day. We started to notice improvement with OCD within a month. Now it has been three months and his OCD went from an 8 to a 2 on zero to ten scale. This is a tremendous improvement especially since OCD is known to be very difficult to treat. I have never written a review before even though I have been buying from Amazon for many years. But this time I decided to write one to share this information. Maybe it can help someone else like it did for my boy

My mom asked to write this review, it may help others. About 3 years ago my mom had liver serious problems. At that time she was not able to get treatment with a specialist. Her physician said to take silymarin daily. Since there she hasn't stopped taking it. And also about two, three times a week she has a green juice made with kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, beet, lemon, carrot, apple, ginger and turmeric root, and cilantro.She says, is it a lot of work? yeas, it is, but worth it. She just came from the doctor and she has a healthy liver

feel great, liver panel normal

I ended up with fatty liver from years of alcohol abuse. I stopped drinking, but still had pain. I used Dr Tobias and Trunature, but still had some pain. I got these, taking them 3x a day...no pain, feel great, liver panel normal. Even if you are still drinking, milk thistle can help minimize/repair the damage...of course best to quit altogether. 5 star

WARNING ON LEAD AND BIRTH DEFECTS SURPRISED ME!! Negative Stars

I have ordered this product in the past. Not until today did I ever get a Proposition 65 Warning! This is ONLY required in the State of California when a manufacturer or supplier believes the product may contain LEAD or other similarly BAD CHEMICALS. The label on the bottle says: "...this product can expose you to chemicals, including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. " Nobody, myself or others likely want to take a supplement that may contain lead or other similar chemicals. It seems ridiculous to me that this is even offered for sale if such chemicals are in the formulation. My concern is that I received several past orders without any such labels? I am trying to get an explanation from the NOW Foods, but so far conclude it must be specific to their company, as I've not seen such a label on any of my supplements purchased via Amazon, and I purchase quite a few. Be aware

Silymarin/Milk is a great product!

I started to take this product to clean the liver, kidneys etc. I had some pain on my side where the liver is and had read up on milk thistle. I went to the local health store and bought another product took it and didn't feel any difference. Then I order this product from amazon after reading others reviews. Taking this product Silymarin/Milk Thistle I saw and felt a difference immediately. The pain on the side went away I sleep better. This produce has insotal in it and believed it or not my hair is getting thicker and not tinning out as much and I would notice this because I am a hair dresser and a Salon owner. I would highly recomend this product because it works

Improvement of my Liver Function

Prior taking the Milk Thistle my ALT reading was at 148. Doctor assumed I drank too much alcohol (6 pack a week of Michelob Lite), but actually the fatty tissues causing the high readings (should be between 0-60). My diet has not change much. My last lab work, the test came back at 46! I have bought prior Milk Thistle products with half the MG's, but this seems to keep the Doctor happy

which made me read about liver and how to keep mine happy. I want to rewind to four months ago

My urologist ordered CT for my kidneys and it turned out that I had a hepatic hemangioma, which made me read about liver and how to keep mine happy. I want to rewind to four months ago. I am a woman, 5'6" and weighted 114lb. In the span of two months, I have gained 7 pounds! Now, I know that this is a healthy weight for my gender and height, however, this sudden weight gain was alarming to me. I started craving sweets, and I never really cared for sweets. I ate high quality dark chocolate in moderation and not daily. I'm also mostly vegan and I eat healthy and balanced food. My PCP wasn't alarmed... but I did request to be tested for everything I can think of. My main concern was either me being diabetic or having thyroid problems. I haven't had this sudden weight gain. Throughout my whole pregnancy, I remember gaining only 15lbs! So this was not normal! Tests came back normal except... turned out that I had an elevated bad cholesterol level and my PCP said I should eat healthy and exercise. To make a long story short, I ordered this product to pamper my liver and the results I had so far have been amazing! 1-It supressed my sweets cravings completely. I have not touched sweets and chocolate the same day I first started using this product. I took one pill in the evening when it first arrived in the mail, and didn't touch chocolate that night. 2- It suppressed my appetite completely. I'm literally forcing myself to eat. 3- It suppressed cravings for wine and alcohol. In summary, I ordered this product for a completely different reason, and I got more than I bargened for! My liver is happy and I'm very happy

Brighter eyes

I'm an optometrist and I see an acupuncturist for health maintenance. I bring this up because living in Hawaii, a lot of my patients enjoy the outdoors, and daily, I'll see eyes with yellow conjunctiva and diagnose that as a pinguecula. This change in the conjunctiva is usually due to sun damage or excessive eye rubbing. I recommend sunglasses and lubricating eye drops to prevent pinguecula progression. I, myself, am also a surfer and suffer from the same problem. My acupuncturist says the yellowing was from some kind of dysfunction in my liver. I ignored that. At 35 years old, I noticed my metabolism slowing down, I changed my diet to strictly Pesca-vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan diet. I've become very conscious how my body reacts to foods, products, and the environment with this lifestyle change. Eight months since this change, I wanted to keep my liver healthy and my acupuncturist recommended milk thistle. A week into taking my supplements daily, I found the whites of my eyes. Yay. Bright! I was stunned because this was such an unexpected benefit. I may recommend milk thistle to the right candidate in the next eye exam. End note, my pinguecula is still there but a much better improvement in conjunctiva health. I'll keep updated on any further noticeable benefits

Changed my Life!!!

Found out 5 months ago that I have gallstones and they were the reason that I felt nauseous, tired and just overall crappy everyday. Doctor recommended that I lose weight before I have surgery so I started doing research trying to find something that would help me feel better until I could have surgery. After lots of research I discovered these pills. Life changer for me. Within days of first taking them I noticed a difference. More energy and most importantly I didn't feel nauseous anymore. Still can't believe the difference these pills made for me. I'm on my second bottle and I will continue taking until I have the surgery. Down 51 pounds and counting. Pills are easy to swallow and it only takes 1 a day. Worth every penny
