The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
Puritan's Pride markets this as a 4:1 concentration extract dosed at 250mg per capsule, framed around traditional liver support. The 4:1 ratio indicates the extract is concentrated relative to raw milk thistle, though the label doesn't specify an exact standardized silymarin percentage.
At 180 capsules per bottle and a stated six-month supply, this is built for long-term daily use rather than a short trial. The vegetarian diet claim is listed, but the allergen note calls out soy, so this isn't a fit for anyone specifically avoiding soy ingredients.
What stands out most is the review volume. With more than 28,000 ratings averaging 4.6 stars, this is among the most heavily reviewed milk thistle products available, and the strong monthly purchase volume suggests it remains a popular repeat buy.

Performance notes
The 4:1 concentration extract at 250mg per capsule, combined with a 180-count bottle, works out to roughly a six-month supply at one capsule daily, matching the product's own labeling. This is one of the longer-duration bottles in the category, which factors into its lower effective cost per day.
What buyers say
With over 28,000 ratings averaging 4.6 stars, this is one of the most extensively reviewed milk thistle products on the market, and its high monthly purchase volume points to sustained, repeat demand rather than a one-time spike.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 4:1 extract ratio mean?
A 4:1 extract ratio generally means it takes about four parts of raw milk thistle to produce one part of the finished extract, making it more concentrated than a plain powdered herb. It's a different way of describing potency than a standardized percentage, so it's not directly comparable to products that list a specific silymarin percentage.
Is this product soy free?
No, the allergen information for this listing includes soy, so it's not a fit if you're specifically avoiding soy-containing supplements. Always check the label on the bottle you receive to confirm current ingredients.
How long does one bottle last?
At the labeled serving size, the 180-capsule bottle is designed to last about six months. Actual duration depends on following the serving directions printed on the bottle.
