Extract + Whole Seed: Pairs concentrated silymarin with the broader natural components of organic milk thistle seed.
Antioxidant Defense: Supports the liver’s normal antioxidant defenses.

Silymarin is the group of naturally occurring milk thistle compounds associated with its antioxidant and liver-support roles. A standardized extract provides a defined concentration of this complex, while organic whole seed powder preserves the broader seed matrix.

The capsule suits a routine that benefits from a defined unit. It is a distinct preparation from Milk Thistle Herbal Tonic, with its own serving instructions.

Each capsule combines 150 mg of milk thistle extract standardized to 80% silymarin with 400 mg of organic milk thistle seed powder. Standardization gives the extract a defined silymarin level, while the whole seed retains a broader range of the plant’s natural components. The only inactive ingredient is the vegetable gelatin capsule.

Why Animal Essentials difference

The Supplement That Does the Job

My Vet recommended I supplement this to my 10-year old Shih Tzu after his blood tests showed where his liver health levels was a bit off (however, not in the severe zone). After finding this, via my Vet, and having it administered to my dog for awhile now, I can say for a certainty that this Liver Health Supplement does what it needs to. And has gotten my dog's levels for his level back in the zone it needed to, to remain healthy.I've taken notice that after awhile of taking the supplement, my dog has displayed more energy than usual. Then again, he's still pretty energetic for his age. But this Liver Supplement may be improving his energy levels more so than usual. I see that as a plus. As any Pet Owner, I'd like to see my dog still have a lot more in him in spite of aging.Only thing I want to point out is that administering supplements can take some trial and error for small dogs. I had to resort to a solution to ensure my dog takes it.For anyone who may be struggling to administer this to their dog, especially if it's a small dog, you can get a pill pocket, tuck the supplement inside, and take it from there.This solution of mine worked for my little boy. And I hope this might be helpful for those of you whom have small dogs that are reluctant to take supplements.
