Milk Thistle

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Spring Valley Milk Thistle scores 29/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Spring Valley Milk Thistle lists 13 ingredients, starting with Beeswax, Caramel, Gelatin, Bovine and Porcine. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 29/100 Spring Valley Milk Thistle scores worse than most herbal supplements we have scored. A higher-scoring option in herbal supplements is Herbal Connections Herbal Connections Organic Soursop Bitters, 32 oz at 100/100.
