What is Milk Thistle Tincture?
Milk Thistle Tincture is a liquid alcohol-based extract of Silybum marianum, the thistle of the daisy family (Asteraceae), supplied in a 1 fl oz dropper bottle. It is prepared as a 1:5 extract in a 45% alcohol solution.
About the plant
Silybum marianum is a tall thistle with purple flowers and white-veined leaves, the veining tied by legend to the Virgin Mary's milk. Its seeds contain silymarin, a complex of flavonolignans (including silibinin) that is one of the most extensively studied herbal preparations in modern pharmacology.
Tincture vs. the dried seed
A tincture extracts the plant into an alcohol base, so it ships as a compact, shelf-stable liquid rather than by the ounce. Silymarin is poorly water-soluble, which is one reason the seed is often prepared as an alcohol extract. For the ground seed, see Milk Thistle Powder.
Storage
Store the tincture in a cool, dry place away from direct light, tightly capped. We make no health or therapeutic claims.

Good source for alternative/complimentary smoking herbs as well…
Herb Stomp (Sandy) is BY FAR the best Herb and Kratom store I have ever been to. In my 2.5 years of using Kratom, I have never been to a place as helpful as this! The employees are so so helpful! Usually when buying Kratom, I’m met with grumpy head shop owners who seem to want me to either spend out of my budget, or…
Awesome, knowledgeable staff. Great selection and quality of herbs and ethnobotanicals. I also appreciate that testing is done for contaminants and potency on certain herbs. In 8 years coming here I have yet to purchase anything stale or otherwise questionable quality. We technically *could* ask for more in a local…
