Testimonials
I chose Maximum Milk Thistle™ after reviewing a number of research articles relative to chronic liver disease and the benefits of milk thistle. The data supporting Maximum Milk Thistle allowed me to base my decision on the science at hand. I have seen the benefits of MMT evidenced by improvement in lab tests and maintaining an active lifestyle. Maximum Milk Thistle™ has been a valuable addition to staying healthy as a HEP C survivor.- Michael D.
I can’t say enough good things about MAXIMUM MILK THISTLE™. I have tried 3 different types of milk thistle. Although they did help some with my liver enzyme tests, I was ecstatic after taking your product for just 3 months.
I attribute the change directly to your product, as I stopped taking it for a couple of months and my next test showed an increase in liver enzymes.
I also like the fact that it does not interfere with other prescriptions or the vitamins that I take. Although there is no certain cure for Hep C I feel confident that I can be as healthy as I can while taking your product.
Thank you so much and keep up the wonderful research!!- Peggy M.
Being in the medical profession, I am aware there is little regulation with herbal supplements. I sought numerous product brands to compare ingredient(s) amount and recommendations in dosage.
After taking the product for a year, I felt better. I believed I was not only better, but probably did not need the supplement any longer. My viral load had decreased by 2 million.
I stopped the supplement and in four months there was a noticable decrease in energy and ability to concentrate. After resuming the supplement and regaining my sense of well being, I have no plans of discontinuing my Maximum Milk Thistle™.- Rose D.
About after 1 year of being very sickly I began researching milk thistle...yours stood out as the purest and the most potent of all. I have not missed a day of taking this herb, and have been feeling just great.- Robert H.
I started taking Maximum Milk Thistle™ about a year ago, and within two months my condition stabilized and has remained so to this day.- Richard G.
I am an R.N. I contracted HepC from a patient and have been taking Maximum Milk Thistle™ for 4 years, as recommended by my gastroenterologist. I believe this product is the best milk thistle on the market, taking into consideration the quality and the amount of mg you get for the money. Also delivered to your door — a great convenience.- Clare G.
I found out several years ago that I have Hepatitis C.
I researched a few milk thistle products and actually had a friend who is a PhD in biochemistry study some of the claims. He agreed with my assessment that your process should aid in the bio-absorption of the active ingredient.
After a few months of taking Maximum Milk Thistle™ I went in for my quarterly blood work. Amazingly, my markers were all coming down, still not within normal ranges, but improving. After several years, all of my markers are well within the normal ranges of people without liver disorders.
Both my Primary Care Doctor and my Gastro are very impressed with my health history, and I firmly believe that they would assume that there is indeed a cause and effect relationship between my improvement and my use of Maximum Milk Thistle™.- Malcolm G.
Just to let you know that I just had my liver function test and they are the best ever. I have been taking Maximum Milk Thistle™ for a month. I am Hep B positive but with very low titer. Did not pass it to both husband and kids. My hepatologist decided not to treat with any antiviral meds, especially since my liver biopsy was negative. He was also the one who told me about Maximum Milk Thistle™.- Ruby B.
I would love to endorse this product!
This product has saved my life. I tell anyone that has liver problems to take this if they want to live.- Nancy W.
I am a health care professional and have had HCV since 1988. I researched the treatments and options and opted never to try the Interferon-Rebetron due to its in-effectiveness against HCV (50% or less) and the horrific side effects. If my success was no better than that in my profession (anesthesia), I'd be out of business.
I had the fatigue and upper right quadrant pain that is common in this disease, but it didn't really affect my day to day life. I then read about Maximum Milk Thistle™, saw it had been studied by the Germans and the Italians in double blind trials, looked at the original data, and was convinced of its safety.
Now I am convinced of its effectiveness. I feel great — no fatigue, no pain and stable enzymes. My VR hasn't changed, but I don't really worry about it, as long as the damage is being controlled. There are many herbals out there touted as liver cures that can do some actual harm and they have not been properly studied. I avoid them. I take only Maximum Milk Thistle™, Vitamin B-complex, Vitamin A (400/day), a low sugar diet, a lot of vegetables and grains, no drinking, smoking and I exercise routinely. Lastly, I refuse to worry and have replaced the fear of this disease with faith in my God.- Timothy S.

One of milk thistle's most active constituents, silibinin was capable of reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol by up to 86 percent.
Milk thistle is the most widely recognized natural remedy for liver health, confirmed by hundreds of clinical studies shown to protect the liver against virtually all types of damage. The main challenge with milk thistle is that its active ingredients are not absorbed well by the body, especially in their purified or standardized forms. This would require you to ingest large amounts to experience any beneficial effects, an impractical and expensive option.
Maximum Milk Thistle™ provides a patented, highly-absorbable form of milk thistle called Silybin Phytosome®. This helps deliver 8 to 10 times more of milk thistle's active ingredient to your liver, making it a much more effective and economical supplement to address your liver concerns.
No matter what may be affecting your liver, Maximum Milk Thistle™ gives you a natural, effective, convenient, affordable and clinically-proven way to protect and support this vital organ.
In addition to milk thistle's liver health benefits, new research shows that the herb may also play a role in heart health by preventing cholesterol oxidation. At the University of Arkansas, Sunny Wallace and coworkers found that extract of milk thistle, a potent antioxidant, protected LDL cholesterol from oxidizing. The investigators found that one of milk thistle's most active constituents, silybin, was capable of reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol by up to 86 percent. Because the oxidation of LDL cholesterol is suspected to play a major role in the development of atherosclerosis and heart disease, taking a silybin supplement, such as Maximum Milk Thistle™, may be one of the best ways to maintain heart health.
The liver is an important organ in regard to your body's energy generation, storage and maintenance. The Silybin Phytosome® contained in Maximum Milk Thistle™ aids the body in detoxification and is a key element in improving liver function.
Silybin has been found to be the most active constituent of milk thistle. The patented Phytosome® process, creating the active ingredient in Maximum Milk Thistle™, sees to it that more milk thistle gets to where you need it and less is simply "washed" out of your digestive system. The main benefit of the Phytosome® process is that it provides enhanced delivery of the beneficial components of the herb. This way there is much less waste and much, much greater benefit.
For hepatic and metabolic support, Silybin Phytosome® delivers a highly absorbable form of milk thistle to the liver - up to 10x more than standardized milk thistle formulas.
Clinical studies have shown a sustained beneficial effect with long-term usage.
Silybin Phytosome® is a powerful antioxidant and provides a protective effect against alcohol, pollutants and other toxins harmful to the liver.
