Milk Thistle Tincture for the Liver – 50ml

The Milk Thistle herbal tincture from Postlethwaites is a natural herbal infusion intended as a gentle and effective liver tonic, designed to improve function. The seed of the milk thistle plant is widely considered to have protective effects on the liver, and is used in a wide variety of medicines.

Postlethwaite’s herb tinctures are made by infusing fresh or dried herbs in organically produced rye ethanol (ethyl alcohol). They present the herb in a form most readily assimilated by the body, with each herb isolated to ensure its purest form.

Tinctures are best taken around mealtimes and mixed with water or fruit juice. Some can have a slightly bitter taste, orange juice is particularly effective in masking this. Adding tinctures to hot fluid reduces their alcohol content, but it is worth noting that the amount volume present is negligible at the outset.
