Maximum Milk Thistle™
More Potent — More Convenient — More Economical
Maximum Milk Thistle™ is more potent, easier to take and much less expensive than any standardized form of milk thistle on the market today. As outlined here, with Maximum Milk Thistle™ you take only 3 vegetarian capsules daily, containing 240 mg of silybin, the most beneficial active ingredient in milk thistle, for a cost of $29.95 per month. Compare that to our competitors where you would have to take at least 24 pills a day to equal the benefit of the 240 mg of silybin in Maximum Milk Thistle™ for a cost starting at $72.00 per month.
Any equivalent strength milk thistle product will not beat Maximum Milk Thistle™ for potency, ease of use and price. We guarantee it.

The Benefits of Milk Thistle
![](images/milkThistlePlant.jpg)
Milk thistle is the most widely recognized natural remedy for liver health. Hundreds of clinical studies confirm and show that this herb protects the liver against virtually all types of damage. Milk thistle can help protect your liver naturally from all forms of toxins, from exposure to chemical pollutants and the side effects of prescription drugs, to the overindulgences of unhealthy foods and alcohol. It even helps support your body to regenerate healthy liver cells to replace those you've lost.
Milk thistle's active ingredients, collectively known as silymarin, consist of three flavonoids: silybin, silidianin and silichristin. Medical researchers agree that silybin, which comprises 50% of silymarin, is responsible for the majority of milk thistle's liver-protective qualities.
Your Solution — Maximum Milk Thistle™
![](images/template/MMT_bottle_small2.jpg)
The main challenge with milk thistle is that it is not absorbed well by the body, even in its purified or standardized forms. This would require you to ingest large amounts (of purified or standardized forms) to experience any beneficial effects — an impractical and expensive option.
However, unlike purified or standardized forms of milk thistle, our Maximum Milk Thistle™ contains a patented, highly-absorbable form of milk thistle called Silybin Phytosome®. With this patented ingredient, Maximum Milk Thistle™ delivers 8 to 10 times more of milk thistle's most beneficial active ingredient, silybin, to your liver. This makes Maximum Milk Thistle™ a much more potent and economical supplement to address your liver concerns.
The patented process combines silybin and phosphatidylcholine at a molecular level. The phosphatidylcholine serves two benefits. First, it protects the silybin, the most beneficial active ingredient in milk thistle, to ensure more of it reaches the liver and less is washed away through your digestive system. Actually up to 10x more is absorbed by the liver. Second, it also produces faster functional and structural rebuilding of liver tissue and continues to support overall liver health, making it a valuable addition to your liver health regimen.
Maximum Milk Thistle™ contains over 2x the amount of silybin than standardized milk thistle, providing superior benefits: up to 10x the absorption and over 2x the amount of silybin means up to 20x the potency.†
Therefore, for your body to absorb the same amount of silybin in Maximum Milk Thistle™, you would have to consume over 20 times the amount of silybin found in standardized forms of milk thistle.†
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.

The German Commission E Monographs (considered by doctors to be the bible of herbal effectiveness and safety) states there are no known contraindications for using milk thistle extract. Additionally, there is no known toxicity level.
Please consult with a health care professional before starting any diet, exercise or supplementation program, before taking any medication, or if you have or suspect you might have a medical condition, are currently taking prescription drugs, or are pregnant or lactating. Milk thistle (silymarin) may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, therefore backup birth control methods should be used while taking Maximum Milk Thistle™.

Maximum Milk Thistle™ vs. UltraThistle™
Regarded as two of the best milk thistle preparations available today, Maximum Milk Thistle™ and its more powerful sibling UltraThistle™ cannot be matched for their potency, convenience and cost.
