Do you remember Liv.52 from years ago? Then this is a different product from what you are used to. Liv.52 DS PRO is the European successor to the classic Himalaya formula, containing five herbal extracts. You take two tablets a day, so a bottle of 60 tablets lasts exactly one month.
The old Liv.52 DS contained caprifoliifolia, chicory, Terminalia arjuna and a handful of other Ayurvedic herbs. In this version, only one of those remains: lemon balm. New additions are Phyllanthus amarus, green tea, dandelion and artichoke. This is not a cosmetic change but a genuine reformulation, probably because these five herbs have an established status in Europe. Artichoke and dandelion, for example, are both included in the European herbal monographs. Good to know: much of the information you find online about the brand name refers to the old formulation. So judge this based on what is currently in it.
Phyllanthus amarus is by far the most heavily represented: 275mg of herb per daily dose, processed together with lemon balm and green tea into 93.5mg of aqueous extract. The herb comes from Ayurveda and naturally provides lignans and tannins. Dandelion and artichoke have a completely different profile: they are bitter herbs, named after the bitter substances naturally found in them. Artichoke can contribute to the flow of digestive juices and to intestinal comfort*. Dandelion can contribute to digestion*.
Dandelion, artichoke and lemon balm are all mentioned in herbal tradition for digestion, and therefore often appear together in the same formula. Phyllanthus amarus and green tea complement this trio. That is the idea behind a combination of five instead of a single extract. Lemon balm can contribute to digestive comfort*.
The regular Liv.52 comes in bottles of 100 tablets and is more lightly dosed. DS stands for double strength: stronger per tablet, so you take less of it. PRO is the latest step and therefore also has a different herbal list. Anyone who places the boxes side by side will see it immediately: net 26.7 grams, 60 tablets, and on the side an ingredients list that you will not find in the old version. If you are ordering Liv.52 DS PRO because an acquaintance recommended the old version to you, then take a good look at the composition.
Himalaya makes this product in Bengaluru and imports it into the EU via Warsaw. It is a tablet, not a capsule, and you take two per day.
*Health claim awaiting European approval.
Phyllanthus amarus, yarrow, green tea, dandelion and artichoke are all combined in the same tablet. Two of the five are classic European bitter herbs, while the other three come from the Ayurvedic tradition.
The aqueous extract is made from 275mg Phyllanthus amarus, 240.62mg yarrow and 171.88mg green tea per daily dose. Those numbers are simply on the box, including the 50mg dandelion and 25mg artichoke.
With 1 tablet twice a day, a bottle of 60 tablets lasts 30 days. So you don't have to calculate halfway through the month whether you still have enough.
Himalaya Wellness manufactures Liv.52 DS PRO in Bengaluru and lists the EU importer in Warsaw on the box. The country of origin, expiration date, and batch number are therefore clearly stated.

The composition and strength differ. Regular Liv.52 comes in jars of 100 tablets and is the lightest dose. DS stands for double strength and is stronger per tablet, so you take less of it. DS PRO is the latest European version and also has a different herbal list: five extracts instead of the old Ayurvedic mix. Only mugwort remains from that old mix.
Two: one tablet in the morning and one tablet later in the day, preferably after a meal with a glass of water. A bottle of 60 tablets therefore lasts exactly 30 days. Do not take more than two per day.
Discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist first. Phyllanthus amarus and dandelion can affect liver enzymes that break down medications, which may change the levels of some drugs in your body. The same applies if you take blood thinners, diabetes medication, or diuretics. It is also wise to consult your doctor if you are planning to have surgery.
Himalaya Wellness produces it in Makali, Bengaluru, which is clearly stated on the packaging. The EU import is handled through Himalaya Wellness Poland in Warsaw, providing a point of contact within the European Union. The box also displays the batch number, expiry date, and full list of ingredients.
A small herb from the tropics, known in India as bhumi amla, with a long history in Ayurveda. The plant contains lignans such as phyllanthine and tannins such as corilagin. In this formula, it is the most heavily represented herb: 275mg per daily dose, processed into an aqueous extract.
No, it does not contain milk thistle. A milk thistle supplement usually contains a single standardized extract, based on silymarin. Liv.52 DS PRO takes the opposite approach: five herbs together. If you want a high dose of a single substance, a separate extract is more logical.
