Certificate of Analysis


Product Introduction

Milk Thistle Extract is obtained from the seeds of Silybum marianum, a botanical widely used in supplement formulations due to its naturally occurring flavonolignan complex known as silymarin.

Compared with whole milk thistle seed powder, the extract provides higher active concentration, improved uniformity, and better bioavailability control, making it suitable for standardized nutraceutical and functional ingredient applications.

  • Botanical Source: Silybum marianum (Seed)

  • Appearance: Yellow-brown to brown powder

  • Main Actives: Silymarin complex

  • Solubility: Poorly water-soluble, formulation-dependent

  • Ingredient Type: Herbal extract


Production Process

Greenherb applies a controlled extraction workflow to preserve silymarin integrity:

  1. Seed Selection & Cleaning

  2. Drying & Fine Milling

  3. Solvent Extraction

  4. Filtration & Concentration

  5. Drying & Powder Standardization

  6. Quality Testing & Packaging
