Tier 2 — Promising

What it is

Milk thistle silymarin complexed with phosphatidylcholine, absorbing up to 10 times better than standard silymarin. Multiple Siliphos trials show significant improvements in liver enzymes and histology in NAFLD. The phospholipid complex also provides choline for liver fat metabolism. A 2025 review confirmed it outperforms standard silymarin.
