SwansonMilk Thistle, Dandelion & Yellow Dock - Herbal Liver Support Supplement - Natural Supplement Helping to Maintain Overall Health & Wellbeing - (120 Capsules) 1 Pack

I had initially gotten interested in these pills when I had first read on the Internet that according to traditional Chinese medicine, menstrual cramps may be due to a congested liver. And thus a liver cleanse or detox would extremely help in relieving menstrual pain. I had read a lot of comments from people who had tried milk thistle and had received relief from intense menstrual cramps. I also love that this product includes dandelion and yellow dock, which also help to clear toxins from the liver. So I gave these pills a try. I ate one capsule a day in the first month. And the following period was extremely better. Before taking the Milk Thistle, Dandelion & Yellow Dock capsules, my cramps were horrible. I would have to miss work on my first day. I would also experience nausea and vomiting and the pain was unbearable. However after taking these capsules daily, the cramps are much more manageable. Last month, I was able to bear the mild cramps without taking any over the counter medications and a hot water bottle on my lower abdomen was enough to abate the pain. I am extremely grateful that I tried these. I am continuing to use them, one tablet per day especially since they provided such relief for my cramps. I have also noticed that my skin looks more pink from its original yellowish shade - I guess the capsules are helping with circulation too. Please see the attached photos of what the bottle looks like - front and back - and how big each capsule is. This product also comes with instructions on how the capsules can be used.

I think I've reviewed a similar item before but here goes again. This item is a PROVEN LIVER PURIFIER!!! For example: I went to the emergency room a couple years ago (can't remember why) and had some blood work done. When the results came back the E.R. Doctor said I had a "fatty" liver and that my liver enzymes were through the roof (sky high). I asked him what could be done about it and he said "nothing" , once you have a fatty liver you can't "go back" and to never drink alcohol again or anything else like aspirin etc that harms the liver. I went home and did some research in a box of magazines an old friend gave me titled: "Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients". (tldp.com or org) (If you can find some of these, I highly advise you to read them!!!! Anyways, I found out that milk thistle extract (silybum marianum) will HEAL the liver! Silybum Marianum is also used for toxic mushroom poisoning in emergency rooms... It removes toxins from the liver and even heals hepatitis!! (not sure WHICH hepatitis, I don't have that). So, I started taking 1 gram (1000 milligrams) a day, and went to my doctor about a month later and had more blood work done. When the results came back, he said your blood looks fine... I told him about the E.R. doc telling me my liver enzymes were high just one month ago and he stated, "well, your liver looks great now"!!! He even compared the results from the E.R. and his results and was SHOCKED that it was possible. Being an A.M.A trained doctor, he still didn't want to believe it and any A.M.A. trained doctor you ask will flatly DENY this is possible! I AM LIVING PROOF THAT MILK THISTLE IN HIGH DOSES WORKS.!!!! Dennis Hopper and Wynona Judd (I think it was her) BOTH cured hepatitis with milk thistle!

I’m glad I found Swanson and I learned about how important dandelion and milk thistle are. We need to get back to the Ancient plants and herbs and healthy food to heal our bodies instead of big pharma synthetic poison.

There might be better products out there but for the money and what’s included makes it right for me and my budget

This product seems to work very smooth on my system. I don't feel any stomach pain and it does clean me out pretty well. I drink lots of water with it and I do see little bumps show up on my body which means that this product is aiding in detoxification. If you don't get the tiny bumps which will go away and you do get pain you may need to drink more water with this product. I also take cranberry pills with this product and I feel clean inside and out. I do drink warm water with this product and take hot showers because you may sweat and you may experience an increase in body odor as your body is cleansing and the toxins are coming out of your pores. I also recommend not doing any high activities while using this product because your body is working and you may get exhausted.

I have been using this for about a year now. I was told that my gall bladder was showing some sludge and I just simply could not afford the time off to have a surgery. A friend recommended this product for me and said it would help with the pains and symptoms. I thought, "Ok, whatever!" But, for the price, I started taking it and within 2 days the pain was gone and 4 weeks later at my check up, a scan was done on my gall bladder and it was more than fine. I now use this for 2 months with a month break in between.And to be honest, I have also used this after a night of drinks to aid in the hangover and it helps so much more than anything else (although I am sure that is not it's intent!) and so finally I am able to have a drink or two occasionally without the dreaded pains the next day (I ALWAYS) get a hangover no matter how much I drink so I don't get to indulge much if at all.

Great Product

I'm not sure that it did anything.I've used other milk thistle products in the past that have actually made a noticeable difference but I'm not getting that from these.I went for the low price and ingredient list but, at least for me, didn't get what I was after.
