Quest Milk Thistle Extract Formula, 50:1 Silymarin with Wild Yam and Dandelion for Liver Health, 60 Vegetable Capsules

Quest Milk Thistle Extract Formula Details

Milk thistle is the reference liver herb, and the number that separates a serious extract from a token one is the concentration ratio. This is a 50:1 seed extract standardised to 80% silymarin — 42 mg of extract equivalent to 2,100 mg of raw herb. That is a genuine concentration, not ground seed in a capsule.

Silymarin is the active fraction, and it is what the entire research literature on milk thistle and liver health rests on. Standardising to 80% means you know how much you are getting rather than hoping.

Around it sit two supporting herbs. Wild yam root, standardised to 6% diosgenin, and dandelion root as a 5:1 extract — dandelion having a long traditional association with bile flow and liver function, and being the reason this is a formula rather than a single-herb product.

Three capsules twice daily, used for a minimum of three weeks to see beneficial effects. Quest is a Canadian brand, manufacturing vitamins and minerals in Canada.

Who Quest Milk Thistle Extract Formula Is For

This suits anyone building liver support into a routine, particularly after a period of heavier drinking, alongside a medication regimen, or as part of a defined short course. It is vegetarian, in a vegetable capsule.

The cautions here are broader than most herbal products and worth reading. **Consult a practitioner first if you have a sex hormone dependent cancer such as prostate cancer, or diabetes**, or if you take psychoactive medication, hormonal therapies, diuretics, potassium depleting agents or MAO inhibitors — that is a long interaction list and the wild yam is a significant part of why. Use beyond six weeks needs practitioner advice. At six capsules a day a bottle lasts ten days at full dose.
