I have been reading about maximum milkthistle that supposedly absorbs better so you get more benefit than tea, seeds ect?
Anyone tried it & what do you think.
Are there really benefits to any form of milkthistle.
This one is 240 mg. take 3 times a day ?

I take Maximum Milk Thistle and have done so for over a year. I believe it is the best. However, there are other companies that put out milk thistle with phosphatydlcholine (sp?), which is what makes it better than straight milk thistle. I have found a site that sells it very reasonably and I get my shipment automatically every three months. It only costs me $25 per month.

Thanks & glad to hear you are pleased with it.

What in your opinion has it done for you?

hi DLMD
i am not taking the maximum milk thistle, but i do take a liv-tone in which contains2,880mg's(80%silymarin),artichok e leaves, dandelion.bought from the health food store.
i did a study test on myself for the past several months taking the liv-tone(milk thistle)has been of great help for me.
before i started taking it my ast was 98 and alt was 125, and several months later this months enzymes ast is at 50 and alt is at 47.i have not taken treatment thus far.however the enzymes slowly came down and this is the lowest that they have been.considering i've had hep 20+years.liv-tone is a powder capsule with alot of ingredients that helps detoxify any toxins that we come into contact with.speaking for myself i think it's great.i hope that this may be of some help to you.
keep the faith, bless you...................mj
