*** Our New Product Review: Milk Thistle Supplements ***

JUST RELEASED -- Milk thistle supplements may have a protective effect on

the liver -- offering help to people with hepatitis, cirrhosis and other

liver conditions. But one milk thistle supplement failed ConsumerLab.com's

tests because it contained only 18% of its claimed amount of silymarin -- a

key active constituent. Even across products that met their claims,

silymarin content varied significantly depending on the form of milk thistle

used.

Results of all 27 milk thistle supplements tested are available to help

guide you in your product selection.

You need to subscribe to get all the test results and ConsumerLab.com's

valuable recommendations. In this comprehensive report, you'll discover:

-- Which products failed and which passed our tests and why.

-- How much silymarin is in each product.

-- How much to use.

-- What to consider when buying a product.

-- Potential side-effects and drug interactions.
