Malic Acid and Milk Thistle

[Guest guest]

I went to my local health food store today and asked about Malic Acid

based on postings on this mailing list.

My clerk who normally seems know where EVERYTHING in their suppliment

section is wasn't even aware of Malic Acid. She pointed me at the

Liver section. This had lots of products with Milk Thistle (and

artichoke which I had not heard of).

However, not ONE of these products contained anything with Malic

Acid. At least not in a form I recognised as such.

So what's the deal?

If Malic Acid helps soften stones and is good for the liver, how come

SOMEBODY doesn't make a product with it? (Or at least a " common "

product . . . in the " fringe medicine " kind of " common " .)
