Can anyone point me in the right direction, I'm looking for a decent quality Milk thistle tablet. Holland & Barrett have them at £7.99 for 30 tabs, that's a 15 day course.
I need some with similar strength at a cheaper price, any suggestions?
cheers guys

Amazon - 90 tablets that are 10,000mg of milk thistle. There is a sticker on the jar saying £15.95 but I'm sure they were about £11 x x0

This has only got 54 mg of silymarin. The zipvit one has 120mg and the one that you can buy at Asda 3 for £10 is 174 mg. It depends what you want it for, but in trials the doses have been around the 140mg 3 times a day to reduce LFT's.0 -

Cheers for that, i ended up going for these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Milk-Thistle-8580mg-BUY-1-GET-1-FREE-120-120-Tablets-/261113109788?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:GB:3160
The seller got back to me stating they have 216 mg silymarin per tab, 2 a day should do the job.0 -

Thanks for the extra info. I've been using them to support liver function alongside prescription meds so do you think it would be better to go for something with a larger dose of silymarin?
