Spring ValleyMilk Thistle 4:1 Concentrated Extract 250 mg - 90 Softgels

OK.. here it is.. first time to review this product after a month and after i finished the entire bottle and had my blood work last week.First i want to make clear that i didnt lose any weight.. why? of course its not weight loss supplement duh..Milk thistle is known to help liver and produce good enzymes for the liver, so if you have elevated ALT(SGPT) will this help you? in my case.... YES! i had 61 IU/L and that's considered as high coz the normal is 0-44 only..so that 61 was my result in Nov 2013 and now after a month of taking this spring valley milk thistle... my results went down to 53 IU/L... it's still a bit high than normal but thats 8 points lower..plus i didnt change my diet and without exercise.. i still eat all crap fatty foods..smh..But that gives me some motivation to buy another bottle..probably ill make it 2..i usually take this 2 capsules together a day.. and the taste? well i think i'm weird.. i just love the taste of it.. i even burst it in my mouth before swallowing it..lol then drink some water.and here's the bonus.. i'm not sure if its from this milk thistle but just like i said..i didnt change my diet.. but guess what???my cholesterol went down too!!! wohooo Praise God!i was 236 mg/dL in total in Nov 2013 and thats considered high LDL was 156 then and HDl was 54 ... and im now....i'm down to.. 191 md/dL wohooo!!! that's normal!!! LDL is still considered high and its 123 mg/dL normal is 0-99... but look at the difference... it drops by 33 points.. my HDL is 42 now.. which i guess i have to increase lol..all in all i will recommend this.. you can always msg me if you have questions..btw.. i didnt review this few weeks after i received it.. coz i dont review based on the shipping efficiency.. i'm reviewing coz of the product..lets all live healthy!

I have been using this brand of milk thistle for many years now, and my liver function has been brought back to normal.I went into the ER several years ago with horrible pain in my right upper quadrant. All the tests, etc., they tell me they can't find anything. I thought it was my gall baldder.However, the blood test came back with liver enzymes in it...that is not good. The doctors told me that if I had a gall stone, it could cause the liver enzymes, ...blah blah blah.I went back 3 months later with the same pain, just not as severe, and the liver enzymes are present.I look into "things" on my own because the doctors could not find anything wrong.I start taking this milk thistle, and after about 2 weeks, the dull pain was finally gone. I went in for a blood test, and no enzymens were present.btw....I had 5 separate blood tests in a 1.5 year time line, as wells as HIDA scans, etc.Since I have been taking this milk thistle, my liver is normal, no pain, and no enzymes.I highly recommend this. My doctors just tell me, what ever I am doing...just keep doing it.If you have liver issues, try this...you got nothing to lose, and it is super cheap.

now idk how well this worked for any part of my body because i dont go to the doctor im a 24 year old female and i often come on amazon to find herbal natural remedies for anything i can find which will benefit my body. since i started using this for the past month, i have been going to the bathroom every single day, at least twice. I noticed my bowel movements were much better then they were before and honestly this isnt something thats normal for me. I have always had pretty bad bowel movements, painful, sometimes only a few times a week, bleeding involved. Anyhow, i dont want to make this all about my bathroom trip details, i just wanted to say that i take this and since i started whatever it is doing inside of me is helping. My bowels are regular, healthy, easy and no longer painful. If anyone knows what could be going on then i would honestly love to hear it. I only decided to take this because it was recommended to me for a cleanse and quite frankly this stuff did cleanse me out. i did stop taking the product for a while and i noticed i had different bowel movements then i did while taking this. My assumption is that whatever this is doing inside of me is helping keep me regular and honestly that is more then what i was expecting.FYI i didnt change anything else, i eat practically the same as i did before and i havent taken any other supplements other than Apple cider vinegar which is only once a week and whenever i did take the apple cider vinegar i noticed my bowels were more frequent and much more heavy then with the milk thistle alone. anyhow thats all there is to this review, thanks for reading!
