The seeds of Milk Thistle are combined with three other important herbs used in healthcare for centuries – fresh extracts of Dandelion, Artichoke and dried Boldo leaves. A.Vogel’s Milk Thistle Complex was amongst the very first herbal products formulated by Alfred Vogel, one of Switzerland’s best known naturopaths.
