Date:January 2, 2012

"I've been purchasing this product for six years and the benefits for my husband have been great. Swanson's value and quality can't be beat. We buy ALL our supplements from Swanson and recommend them to all my friends. You just cannot get the same value at the big chain stores and when you live in a rural area Swanson saves you gas and time!"

Title:If My Liver Could Speak

Date:July 2, 2011

"I began taking this product to maintain the good health of my liver, which has served me well these 66 years. I don't feel any difference since I've been taking it, so it's difficult to say whether it's beneficial or not. I've based my ratings on the fact that it hasn't damaged me, it's reasonably priced, and it's easy to swallow. So, overall, I am satisfied. If my liver could speak, I could give you a more informative review."

Title:Great Detox Aid

Date:December 11, 2010

"I have been taking Swanson's Milk Thistle, for over a year, and am happy with the quality. As it says, in the product description, it is a great liver tonic. By keeping the liver healthy, Milk Thistle, helps the liver to filter toxins out of the blood, transporting it to the GI tract, and out, of the body. If you are trying to rid your body, of all the toxins we are bombarded with, on a daily basis (in our food, water, and air), then this is a good place to start."

Title:Strong Liver Health Supplement:

Date:August 23, 2009

"Swanson's Premium Full Spectrum Milk Thistle has improved my liver's detoxifying strength and my body's health overall in a pleasantly graceful way. I needed to strengthen and assist my liver in the detoxifying mode, so I chose the Premium Full Spectrum Milk Thistle because I wanted to utilize a single renowned herb to cleanse my body via my liver. Most liver detoxifying formulas have several herbs in which, from my experience in the past, had too strong of an effect on my liver and caused a somewhat drained effect upon my body energy levels. However, the Swanson Premium Full Spectrum Milk Thistle has been a milder yet effective supplemental herb to detoxify my liver and cleanse my body, while allowing my energy levels to remain normal most of the time. My health status is in a mostly good state and I have gone through over 10 years of cleansing and detoxifying."

Title:Good liver tonic

Date:July 29, 2009

"Milk thistle has long been known to be an effective liver tonic. In fact, some studies have shown that the active ingredient in milk thistle shows an improvement in at least one of the measures of liver function, such as aminotransferases, albumin, and/or malondialdehyde.

As far as effectiveness, it is difficult to tell of this supplement is effective unless you get before and after blood work designed to quantify liver function. On the less scientific side, I have been taking milk thistle for a years, and I consider it a good maintenance measure against liver damage from alcohol usage, chemical exposure or whatever else might ail the liver.

I personally believe that a standardized milk thistle exytact with at least 80% silymarin is a slightly more effective product than the full spectrum line."
