What is Organic Milk Thistle Extract Powder?
Organic Milk Thistle Extract Powder is derived from the seeds of Silybum marianum, a traditional herbal plant widely recognized for its liver-supporting properties. Using a gentle water–ethanol extraction process, the active compounds—particularly silymarin—are preserved to ensure maximum efficacy.
In addition to the extract form, we also supply Organic Milk Thistle Powder, which is made by finely grinding whole organic milk thistle seeds. Together, these two forms offer versatile options for natural health products, dietary supplements, and functional formulations.

Why Choose Organic Milk Thistle Extract Powder

FAQs
Q: What is the main difference in application between Organic Milk Thistle Extract Powder and Organic Milk Thistle Powder?
A: Organic Milk Thistle Extract Powder is highly concentrated and standardized for silymarin, making it ideal for supplements where a precise, high dose of the active compound is required for specific health claims (e.g., liver detox capsules). Organic Milk Thistle Powder (whole seed) offers the full spectrum of compounds from the seed, including fiber, at lower silymarin levels, making it suitable for functional foods and beverages aiming for a broader “whole-herb” or fiber-enriched benefit.
Q: Is Silymarin the only active compound in Milk Thistle?
A: While silymarin is the most well-known and researched active complex in milk thistle, the plant contains other beneficial compounds, including other flavonoids, fatty acids, and proteins, which contribute to its overall health benefits. The whole seed powder retains a broader spectrum of these.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Milk Thistle Powders typically have a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in their original sealed, airtight packaging.
Q: Are your Organic Milk Thistle Powders suitable for vegan and gluten-free products?
A: Yes, both our Organic Milk Thistle Extract Powder and Organic Milk Thistle Powder are made from 100% organic milk thistle seeds, making them inherently vegan and gluten-free. They contain no animal products or common allergens.
Q: Can these powders be easily dissolved in beverages?
A: Both powders have low solubility due to the nature of their components (silymarin is lipophilic, and the whole powder contains fiber). They are best incorporated into opaque beverages like smoothies, protein shakes, or encapsulated in supplements, rather than clear drinks.
