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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilymarin 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Quest Milk Thistle Extract Formula Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuest Milk Thistle Extract Formula Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50:1 Milk Thistle Seed Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e — 42 mg equivalent to 2,100 mg of raw herb, a genuine concentration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandardised to 80% Silymarin\u003c\/strong\u003e — The active fraction the research rests on, at a stated percentage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith Wild Yam at 6% Diosgenin\u003c\/strong\u003e — A standardised supporting herb rather than an unmeasured addition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDandelion Root 5:1 Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e — Long traditional association with bile flow and liver function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsed to Promote a Healthy Liver\u003c\/strong\u003e — The licensed claim for the formula.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegetable Capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for those avoiding gelatin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDefined Course\u003c\/strong\u003e — Minimum three weeks for effect, practitioner advice beyond six weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-quest-milk-thistle-extract-formula-60-vegetable-capsules\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Quest Milk Thistle Extract Formula?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA liver formula combining a 50:1 milk thistle seed extract standardised to 80% silymarin with wild yam root and dandelion root extract. 60 vegetable capsules.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How much do I take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eAdults: 3 capsules twice daily.
