07/08/2024, By WilmaMilk thistle is so good for one's liver. I've been taking this one for a few months and feel all the better for it.20/04/2024, By AnnelizeI like this milk thistle product and have ordered it twice now. What makes me angry, is when it is under "specials" but stil R25 per bottel more expensive than I found it at Dischem, moments after I had ordered it :-(. Will double check all prices before ordering again. SAD.11/01/2024, By SallyHappy with the results, it seems to be effective especially if you feel a bit bloated/constipated/hungover.24/08/2023, By LanaLove this product, after about two weeks of using daily my skin became so supple and clear, no more dryness and it even lightened my hyperpigmentation.01/01/2021, By GarryReally works well. My readings can be erratic but using this product soon gets it back norm08/12/2020, By JackieI am a great fan of milk thistle, probably because I like to drink my wine and I know it protects my liver.21/10/2020, By ToriBest product on the market for milk thistle in my opinion and its veg friendly!09/09/2020, By ThereseDefinitely one of the less pricey liver detox products. Also great quality and value for money05/05/2020, By ZandriI have been using Flora Force Milk Thistle for 8 to 10 months now. It is part of the daily supplements and cannot go without it. It may mimic the effects of oestrogen so for women with hormonal issues, speak to your doctor first.08/04/2020, By AlexIt’s slowly helping my liver to detox and function normally again! Great product!26/01/2020, By ZandriMilk Thistle is a daily supplement necessity. Flora Force is the only Milk Thistle supplement that has not given me heartburn!28/11/2019, By Jurgen, DIrector of Flora Force Health Products.@Tess from 10/10/19...thanks for asking a thought provoking question. There is some complexity about recycling these bottles as your suggest. Since it is regarded as medicine, we have to conform to labelling legislation which requires that the label cannot be removed and reattached to falsify products. (You'll notice they stick like 'you-know-what') And we would need to prove that they are completely sterile before going back into production and again avoid any possibility of cross-contamination or chance that an old label can slip back into the production process. It seems like overkill, but those are the rules. (Understandable in the context of biologically active medicines or scheduled drugs). So sadly we are not in a position to do what seems, on the surface, a really sensible idea. But your suggestion is well taken, and we'l keep looking for ways to make our footprint lighter - because we accept that we all share this responsibility to live in a healthier world.10/10/2019, By TessThis is a high quality product to detoxify your system. I'll keep using it.
Any way I can recycle the empty bottles back to the company? I feel it's a shame to let it go to general recycling...04/10/2019, By AdeneGood quality milk thistle - I definitely feel less sluggish when I take this.13/04/2019, By DaniellaTake 2 tablets every day and feel it has helped flush toxins from my liver25/05/2018, By IngridTook this in combination with a liver flush and certainly think it has helped repair some of my damaged liver cells.
