The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
Gaia Herbs frames this product around liver function support, packaged as 120 vegan capsules that work out to 40 servings, meaning the label calls for three capsules per serving rather than one. That serving structure is worth noting since it changes how quickly a bottle gets used up compared to single-capsule-per-day products.
Both vegan and vegetarian diet claims appear on the label, along with a soy free allergen note, which broadens its appeal for people avoiding animal-derived capsule shells or soy-based ingredients. Gaia Herbs has built its reputation around herbal and botanical supplements specifically, which may matter to buyers who prefer a brand focused on that category rather than a general vitamin house brand.
The tradeoff is price: at over $50, this is one of the more expensive milk thistle products in its class. Buyers who value ingredient sourcing and brand focus over the lowest price point are the most likely to find it worth the premium.

Performance notes
The bottle contains 120 vegan capsules structured as 40 servings, meaning three capsules make up a single daily serving under the label's directions. That's a different structure than the single-capsule servings common elsewhere in this category, so the effective supply per bottle is shorter than the capsule count alone suggests.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across more than 1,300 ratings, paired with steady monthly purchase volume, suggests consistent buyer satisfaction with the product despite its higher price point.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the label call for three capsules per serving?
Gaia Herbs formulates this product so that one full serving equals three vegan capsules, which is why a 120-capsule bottle is listed as 40 servings rather than 120. Always follow the serving size printed on your specific bottle, and check with a healthcare professional if you have questions about how it fits your routine.
Is this a good value compared to other milk thistle supplements?
It's priced higher than many competing products in this category, in part reflecting the brand's focus on herbal supplements and its three-capsule serving size. Whether it's worth it depends on how much you value that brand positioning versus a lower per-bottle cost.
Does it contain soy or animal products?
The label lists soy free, vegan and vegetarian claims, meaning it's formulated without soy-based ingredients or animal-derived capsule shells. As always, verify against the packaging you receive since formulations can be updated.
