What the Label Data Shows

Advanced Milk Thistle is cataloged in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) as a botanical with nutrients supplement built from 13 ingredients from Life Extension, sold in softgel capsule form. These ingredients span 6 nutrient categories, botanical, non-nutrient/non-botanical, other, fat, and 2 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 13-ingredient formula, 13 of 13 sit outside the FDA's reference-intake system entirely -- common at this scale, since multi-ingredient blends tend to accumulate botanicals, amino acids, and specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked. That's expected breadth, not a red flag on its own.

Market status matters for supplement research. This product is currently listed as off-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2020-08-23. An off-market listing means production and distribution under this label have stopped, but the DSLD does not delete the entry, it stays on file for historical reference and formulation-history tracking.

About the DSLD database

This page presents factual label data for reference only and is not medical advice; consult a licensed healthcare provider before making decisions about any supplement.
