Product Description
Milk thistle extract is the seed of Silybum marianum, standardized to silymarin, a family of flavonolignans. Organic status is a certification on top of that assay, not a replacement for it.
It is used in liver-health capsules. Typical extracts sit around 80% silymarin by UV; HPLC of silybin is tighter and usually lower. An organic seal does not pick the method.
When buying, ask for the silymarin percent, the method, and the organic certificate for the actual lot.

Applications
Not a Leaf Tea
The seed extract is the supplement. Aerial tea cuts are a different assay.
Blends
UV 80% and HPLC silybin will not match. Use the customer’s method.
Tablets
Match UV silymarin or HPLC silybin to the customer’s method before you set the weight.
Liver-Style Blends
Organic is a certificate. The silymarin percent is still the dose.
UV or HPLC
An 80% UV silymarin result and an HPLC silybin result are not the same number.
Seed, Not Leaf
Aerial teas are a different assay from the seed extract.
FAQ
What marker should the milk thistle specification name?
Silymarin. Silybin is the main component inside that family.
What does the organic certificate change, and what does it not change?
The farming and the certificate. Not the need for an assay.
Which part of the milk thistle plant is used?
Seed.
What should the certificate report?
Silymarin, the test method, and the organic certificate for that lot if the label claims organic.
Which part is used?
The seed, not a leaf tea.
What is the plant?
Seed of Silybum marianum. Organic status is an extra certificate, not the assay.
