Organic milk thistle (Silybum marianum), milled into a fine powder. Whole milk thistle and nothing else: no capsule, no filler, no extract carrier.
What is milk thistle powder good for?
Milk thistle has been used in European herbal practice for around two thousand years, mostly for the liver. Its best known compound is silymarin, a group of flavonolignans that has been studied in human research for decades. Ours is whole milk thistle, organic and milled, so you can stir it into coffee or a smoothie instead of taking capsules.

How people use it
A serving is 2 g, roughly a teaspoon. Stir it into coffee or tea, blend it into a smoothie, or bake it into muffins and energy balls. Mild, earthy, a little nutty. Keep the jar sealed and dry.
Fun fact: Milk thistle gets its name from the white veins on its leaves. In the old story they were left by drops of the Virgin Mary's milk, which is why the plant is also called Marian thistle.

Where does your milk thistle powder come from?
Organic milk thistle, milled and packed in Southern California in a GMP certified facility. We tested nine suppliers for heavy metals before choosing this one.
How is it tested?
Every batch is third party lab tested for heavy metals and potency, and the reports are on our third party testing page. We only put a badge on the page if the label backs it.
Does it contain anything else?
No. The only ingredient is organic milk thistle. Vegan and gluten free, and despite the name there is no dairy in it.
How should I store it, and how long does it keep?
Sealed, cool and dry, away from sunlight. Use the best before date on the jar. Once opened keep the lid tight, because the powder clumps if it takes in moisture.
Pairs well with Celery Powder, Jiaogulan Loose Leaf Tea and Pitaya Powder.
Every batch is tested for heavy metals. Our milk thistle is well below the FDA limit for lead and just above California's stricter Proposition 65 limit, so California law requires this notice. CA WARNING: Can expose you to Lead and lead compounds, a carcinogen and reproductive toxicant. See www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/food.
