Why we love it

Milk Thistle is the go-to remedy for your liver, protecting and repairing it from damage and supporting its functioning and metabolism. Silymarin is the special antioxidant contained in Milk thistle that can help repair and rejuvenate a damaged liver whether you suffer from the effects of environmental toxins and heavy metals, alcoholic cirrhosis, a fatty liver or various other forms of disease releated to the liver such as chronic hepatitis, inflammation or gallstones. Varicose veins and haemorroids related to poor liver function are also eased.

@Tess from 10/10/19...thanks for asking a thought provoking question. There is some complexity about recycling these bottles as your suggest. Since it is regarded as medicine, we have to conform to labelling legislation which requires that the label cannot be removed and reattached to falsify products. (You'll notice they stick like 'you-know-what') And we would need to prove that they are completely sterile before going back into production and again avoid any possibility of cross-contamination or chance that an old label can slip back into the production process. It seems like overkill, but those are the rules. (Understandable in the context of biologically active medicines or scheduled drugs). So sadly we are not in a position to do what seems, on the surface, a really sensible idea. But your suggestion is well taken, and we'l keep looking for ways to make our footprint lighter - because we accept that we all share this responsibility to live in a healthier world.

Milk Thistle is a daily supplement necessity. Flora Force is the only Milk Thistle supplement that has not given me heartburn!

I am a great fan of milk thistle, probably because I like to drink my wine and I know it protects my liver.

I have been using Flora Force Milk Thistle for 8 to 10 months now. It is part of the daily supplements and cannot go without it. It may mimic the effects of oestrogen so for women with hormonal issues, speak to your doctor first.

Love this product, after about two weeks of using daily my skin became so supple and clear, no more dryness and it even lightened my hyperpigmentation.
