If you’re feeling guilty for over-indulging, indigestion is probably making you feel worse. Fortunately, Milk Thistle (THR) can provide a natural way to help cure an upset stomach.
A registered traditional herbal medicine, Milk Thistle (THR) is extracted from the fruits of the milk thistle herb. Based on traditional use only, it has been proven to relieve the symptoms associated with the occasional over-indulgence of food and drink. Simply take one tablet up to twice daily with water and you could soon be feeling as good as new.
Each capsule contains 193-261mg of standardized extract equivalent to 3.725g-10.818g of Milk Thistle fruits.
Don’t let indigestion or an upset stomach stop you from having a good time. Keep Milk Thistle (THR) on hand to help with that indigestion feeling on those occasions when you’ve overindulged. It’s available here at Healthspan.
What has happened to the old Healthspan Milk Thistle Product? In order to comply with new regulations controlling the supply, usage and purity of Milk Thistle we could no longer sell it in its old form. To continue to supply Milk Thistle to our customers, we released this new, licensed formulation in 2011. Please see more details about this here.

A THR has been granted for any herbal product that has the basis of 30 years safe traditional use, 15 years of which must be demonstrated within the EU, and only for those that have undergone extensive quality assurance testing in the same way that conventional medicines are quality tested. The positive result for you is that those herbal medicines that hold THR licenses have passed rigorous criteria and will be able to make medicinal claims based on established traditional use.

Artichoke extract and milk thistle can help to cleanse and support the liver and in turn this can help the body to feel more energetic.
23rd March 2011 You’ve had too much of a good time and the headache, dizziness and sandpaper mouth mean you’re paying the price for drinking too much alcohol. Drink plenty of liquid, have some vitamin C (orange juice or a supplement) and eat some toast. Ginger or peppermint will help to relieve any stomach discomfort. Taking a concentrated artichoke extract or some milk thistle will help the liver process the alcohol.
