IN A NUTSHELL: VERY SAFE BUT THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS COME ONLY FROM STANDARDIZED DOSES like the one being offered here to you by Nature’s Way.
The current scientific literature shows that Milk Thistle, standardized to 80% “Silymarin”, in doses of about 600 mg. per day offer therapeutic benefits in the maintenance of a healthy liver.
Specifically, clinical research has shown that; Alcohol-related liver disease, Hepatitis, Liver cirrhosis and Gallstones are conditions that standardized Milk Thistle has been shown to improve over a period of at least 8-12 weeks of continued use.
CAUTION:
Bear in mind that some of the above conditions are potentially fatal, and all are serious. Therefore, the care of a qualified physician is necessary, and the use of any product should NOT be considered to be an adequate self-treatment as a cure or preventative.
HAVING SAID THAT:
Standardized Milk Thistle, such as the product being offered here, is very beneficial to people who take presciptions drugs, are exposed to environmental toxins or that have concerns about the health of their Liver. Fortunately, Milk thistle is among the safest herbs one can consume, but standardization for Silymarin is essential if a therapeutic effect is desired.
ABOUT BRANDS:
Yes, of course I think “Nature’s Way” is tops and “Now” is excellent, but “Swanson Superior Herbs”, because of its much lower price, is the one on my shelf at this moment. Honestly, for me, this is a matter of cost, and the Swanson product costs less than half as much as the unbeatable “Nature’s Way” product. Occasionally, Swanson runs buy 1 & get 1 free promos for this specific product. That is when I get mine, generally I buy 3 and get 3 free.
ABOUT NATURE’S WAY:
By the way, one of the reasons I believe in “Nature’s Way” is due to its being licensed as a pharamaceutical manufacturing facility in the United States. The other reason is that I have used Nature’s Way, whenever I could afford it or when there were no acceptable replacements, for the past 5 years. Right now I have 11 different “Nature’s Way” products on my shelf, and I have no incentive to buy them other than those they merit.
WHY & HOW TO TAKE MILK THISTLE:
I take 3-4 capsules per day, on an empty stomach. I take Milk thistle because I take a large number of prescription medicines, and have for over twenty years. Naturally, I wish to help keep my Liver healthy, and this is one way I believe that I can. I do my own research and my only motivation is the continued health of my family and myself.
INGREDIENTS: EACH CAPSULE= 175 MG.[80% SILYMARIN] + 180 MG. WHOLE MILK THISTLE HERB
[PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY PRODUCT OR COMPANY - BUT I DO PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT EXACTLY AS YOU MIGHT]

Milk thistle is a great herb! Especially helpful for those suffering from any form of liver disease. In fact, milk thistle is called the “liver herb” by many well known herbalists. This has proven true for those suffering with hepatitis. Nature’s Way Milk Thistle is one of the best! Great company! Shipping is only $4.99, no matter what size the order!

I often have problems sleeping. So I thought that I would take a $10 chance on a good night’s sleep. Trust me, it wasn’t worth it. I tried to take the minimum, then on subsequent nights tried increasing to the maximum recommended dose. My thought was that maybe it would take time to build up in my system. It never helped. Usually I would wait a couple of hours and then go take an Advil PM. If you’re thinking about this product, go buy yourself some Advil PM. It doesn’t always work, but at least I get some sleep with Advil.

Other than not sleeping enough hours, I sleep well. So far, I’ve taken three Nature’s Way Valerian pills spaced out over several months for fun. I did enjoy deep sleep and wake up well-rested.
A couple of times I had a mild heavy feeling in my head on waking, but that feeling dissipated quickly. The only bad thing about the pills is the awful smell. Even with the lid completely closed, I can still smell it from a few feet away. I eat something after taking a pill to stifle the smell.
The best part of Nature’s Way Valerian Extract was the deep, vivid, and sometimes strange dreams or nightmares. My mother took one and didn’t have special dreams, though. I still plan to take pills occasionally just to experience those vivid dreams.
