For the plant’s wider background, read our Milk Thistle Herbal Information.

3. The botanical behind the tincture

Our herb guide discusses silymarin, a naturally occurring group of plant compounds found in milk thistle seeds, alongside flavonoids and other botanical constituents. Information about plant chemistry is not a promise about this product’s effects.

No measured silymarin content or amount of any individual constituent is stated for this tincture. Its 1:2 preparation ratio is not a measurement of those constituents or a statement of standardised constituent content. Research on other milk thistle preparations should not be assumed to apply to this finished tincture.

4. Why milk thistle seeds (fruits)?

Seeds (fruits) are the selected plant material for this preparation, rather than leaves or roots. Identifying the plant part clarifies what is extracted; it does not imply therapeutic superiority. Different plant parts should not be treated as interchangeable product descriptions.

5. A single-herb tincture

Milk Thistle is the only herbal ingredient, rather than a blend of herbs. Alcohol and water form the extraction liquid.

Ingredients:

  • Organic milk thistle seeds (fruits)
  • Organic gluten-free alcohol
  • Filtered spring water

6. Understanding the 1:2 ratio

Home Herbs Organic Milk Thistle Tincture is prepared at a 1:2 ratio, as are all Home Herbs tinctures. This describes one part herbal starting material in relation to two parts extraction liquid, according to the production method.

This ratio describes preparation, not dosage or alcohol percentage. It does not prove that a tincture is stronger, better or more effective than one prepared at another ratio.
