Milk Thistle Artichoke Dandelion Complex
This milk thistle complex from Vit4ever combines three plants that you often encounter separately in herbal remedies: milk thistle, artichoke, and dandelion root. All three are centuries-old plants, and Vit4ever bundles them in a practical capsule. Suitable for those looking for a standardized, plant-based formula without combining separate bottles, with a fixed daily dose. Each of the three extracts is standardized to a characteristic plant substance, so that the composition remains the same per dose, batch after batch.
What silymarin from milk thistle is
Milk thistle supports liver function.* Milk thistle seed naturally contains silymarin, a complex of plant substances (called flavonolignans). This milk thistle complex is standardized to 80% silymarin from a 25:1 extract. Such a ratio means that 25 kilos of fresh plant are needed to make 1 kilo of extract, so you know exactly how much you are getting. Per daily dose of 2 capsules, that provides 500 mg of milk thistle extract, of which 400 mg is silymarin. Milk thistle also helps maintain liver function and supports digestion*. The plant also contributes to the maintenance of normal heart function*. The difference lies in the standardization: not every milk thistle extract on the market provides the same 80% silymarin, while precisely that percentage determines how much silymarin you get per dose.
Artichoke extract with cynarin
In addition to milk thistle, the formula contains 350 mg of artichoke extract per daily dose, standardized to at least 2.5% cynarin. Cynarin is a bitter substance that naturally occurs in the leaves of the artichoke plant. The difference with a separate artichoke preparation lies in the combination: here you get artichoke together with two other plant extracts in a capsule, instead of as a standalone supplement. In short: you do not need to purchase a separate artichoke preparation if you are already choosing this milk thistle complex.
Dandelion root as the third component
The third part of this formula is dandelion root extract, 150 mg per daily dose from a 10:1 extract. Dandelion root contains bitter substances and has traditionally been used in herbal preparations. The root is often mentioned together with milk thistle and artichoke, because the three plants each have a slightly different bitter substance composition. Thus, dandelion root complements the other two extracts in a composite formula, without you needing a separate preparation. Dandelion grows in large parts of Europe, which explains why these three plants often appear in combination.
Vegan capsules, clear composition
The capsule shell of this milk thistle artichoke dandelion complex consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based fiber. There are no animal-derived ingredients in the capsules and no unnecessary fillers in the formula: only the three plant extracts and the capsule shell. Many people wonder if a herbal complex with three extracts is still clear in terms of the ingredient list. With this product, that remains limited to four lines: three extracts and the capsule shell, without colorings or flavorings. With 365 capsules per package and a daily dose of 2 pieces, you can use this milk thistle complex for about half a year without reordering. That makes it a practical choice if you prefer not to order a new bottle every month. In practice, that also means that the dose per capsule remains constant throughout the entire duration of the bottle, something that is not a given with every herbal preparation. So you know exactly what you get with every new bottle, without surprises in the composition.
