Is that a lot?

  • 83% of the 1,277 products that print an amount of milk thistle list more than its 50 mg of standardized milk thistle extract (filed by NIH under milk thistle) (median 175 mg).

The NIH database records 1 to 3 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
