Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is a botanical derived from the seeds of Silybum marianum, supplied by Nustras as a seed powder and as a standardised extract for liver-support and antioxidant formulations. Its characteristic active complex is silymarin (a group of flavonolignans including silybin), to which premium extracts are standardised.

Milk thistle extract is formulated into liver-health and detox-support supplements, antioxidant products, and general-wellbeing blends, in capsules, tablets and powders.

The material is a tan to light-brown seed powder or extract standardised to silymarin, commonly at 80% by UV (with defined silybin content by HPLC where required). Identity and marker assay are by UV/HPLC; heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies milk thistle in bulk commercial quantities, in fibre drums or cartons, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Milk thistle is an accepted botanical dietary ingredient in major supplement markets; buyers confirm the silymarin standardisation, assay method and claim for their product.
