FAQ

Q: What differentiates this extract from standard Milk Thistle products?

A: Advanced extraction and thorough testing ensure this pharmaceutical-grade extract contains 80% Silymarin. Each batch has full CoA paperwork and third-party certification, unlike commodity-grade products. With few solvents, ethanol extraction maintains the whole spectrum of Silymarin flavonolignans.

Q: What is the recommended storage protocol?

A: Seal containers to avoid light, heat, and moisture. Conditions for optimal results: 15-25°C (59-77°F), <60% relative humidity. The extract stays potent for 24 months if kept correctly. Reseal containers immediately after use to avoid oxidation.

Q: Can I get samples before buying?

A: Free 100-500g samples are available for authorised formulators and manufacturers. CoA-documented samples ship. Before producing, formulation, stability, and sensory testing can be done.

Request samples through our technical team.

Q: What is the typical lead time for orders?

A: In-stock items: 2 business days to pickup/shipping

Custom specifications: 3-4 weeks (depending on requirements)

Organic certified batches: 2-3 weeks (subject to availability)

Real-time inventory status available upon inquiry.

Q: Are custom Silymarin concentrations available?

A: Yes. Our R&D capabilities support custom specifications including:

· Alternative Silymarin percentages (60%, 90%, etc.)

· Silybin-specific extracts

· Water-soluble formulations

· Blends with complementary botanicals

· Custom particle size distributions

Minimum order quantities for custom specifications vary by complexity.

Q: What testing validates the 80% Silymarin claim?

A: USP-compliant HPLC verifies silymarin content. Third-party verification follows our in-house lab testing of each batch. Complete HPLC chromatograms of flavonolignan components (Silybin A, B, Silychristin, Silydianin) are in the CoA.
