Overview
NOW Foods packs 250 vegetarian capsules of double strength milk thistle extract (300 mg silymarin) with artichoke and dandelion, formulated for liver support. Suits shoppers wanting a long-lasting bottle of a three-herb liver blend rather than milk thistle alone.
Milk thistle's active compound, silymarin, is paired here with artichoke and dandelion, two herbs traditionally used alongside it for digestive and liver support. The double strength listing means each capsule delivers more silymarin per dose than a standard-strength milk thistle capsule, which can mean fewer capsules for an equivalent dose. NOW Foods produces the extract in veg capsules, so the product avoids gelatin.
- 300 mg double strength silymarin per capsule
- Adds artichoke and dandelion extract
- 250 vegetarian capsules per bottle
- Gluten free, kosher and vegan
Who it's for
Fits people already using milk thistle who want a combination formula rather than a single-herb capsule, and anyone wanting a large 250 count bottle to avoid frequent reordering. Not the right pick for someone wanting an unblended, single-ingredient silymarin extract.

Performance notes
Each veg capsule provides 300 mg of double strength milk thistle extract standardized for silymarin content, the compound most associated with milk thistle's traditional liver use. The blend adds artichoke and dandelion extract in the same capsule rather than as a separate product.
