Silymarin is a highly effective herbal supplement derived from the seeds of the milk thistle plant (Silybum marianum).
It supports liver and kidney health by promoting bile production and aiding nutrient absorption and chemical detoxification. With its powerful antioxidant properties, Silymarin provides benefits for digestion and overall well-being.
This clean, high-quality extract from Veridance Pharmacal is formulated to deliver the key flavonolignan complex (including silybin/silibinin) traditionally valued for maintaining healthy liver function and antioxidant defence.

Additional Product Details
Type of supplement Herb / herbal extract (flavonolignan complex from milk thistle seeds).
Half-life in the body Approximately 6 hours (for the primary active component silibinin/silybin after oral administration). Peak plasma levels are typically reached within 2–4 hours.
Best time of day to take it With meals (ideally containing some dietary fat to support absorption), divided across the day if taking more than one dose. Consistency matters more than exact timing; many people take it with breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. Taking it with food may also improve tolerance.
Optimum dose Commonly studied range: 140–420 mg silymarin daily (often 140 mg three times daily, totalling 420 mg). Higher amounts have been used in research under supervision. Always follow the specific product label and professional advice, as potency and bioavailability vary by formulation.
Long-term safety Silymarin is generally very well tolerated. Clinical use at standard doses for periods of many months to several years has shown a low incidence of mild side effects (mainly occasional gastrointestinal discomfort such as bloating, nausea or changes in bowel habits). Serious adverse events are rare. It is considered safe for long-term use in healthy adults at recommended intakes, though individual responses vary and professional guidance is advised for extended supplementation.
