Milk thistle
Also called silymarin, silybum marianum, silybin, silibinin.
The best price per 150 mg and per month, form by form, across 6 UK retailers, and where to buy it cheapest. A unit for comparing, not advice.
Comparing milk thistle
We count the silymarin a label states per serving, whatever the pack size or the serving size, so every product sits on one scale. Products that combine milk thistle with other ingredients are listed separately, because their price buys more than silymarin. 150 mg is our unit for comparing prices, not a dose to take: the label’s directions and a pharmacist decide that.

Only combination products for this form
The 13 products here contain milk thistle alongside other ingredients, so they are not ranked against single-ingredient products. Their price per dose counts the milk thistle only.
By shop
Each shop's milk thistle products, with where its cheapest sits in the market.
How we work out these prices
We count the weight of extract per serving. Where a label quotes a “whole herb equivalent” (for example “5,000 mg from a 10:1 extract”), we use the actual extract weight. Branded, standardised extracts are compared separately from unbranded ones.
Questions
Where can I buy milk thistle cheapest in the UK?
On 20 October 2026, the cheapest milk thistle per dose from a UK seller was Milk Thistle Extract, Maximum Strength, 750 mg at Healf (5p per 150 mg, £1.62 a month). Then Double Strength Milk Thistle - 300 mg at Healf (8p per 150 mg, £2.40 a month) and Milk Thistle 6000mg at ZipVit (12p per 150 mg, £3.75 a month). That is by price per 150 mg, across 6 UK retailers and 15 products, with every price checked daily; the table above shows the working for each.
What is the best price per 150 mg of milk thistle today?
5p per 150 mg, for Milk Thistle Extract, Maximum Strength, 750 mg at Healf (5p per 150 mg, £1.62 a month), on 20 October 2026. The dearest of the 15 products we price is £6.25 per 150 mg, and the middle one is 33p.
How much does milk thistle cost per month?
At one 150 mg dose a day, the cheapest works out at £1.62 a month, for Milk Thistle Extract, Maximum Strength, 750 mg at Healf, on 20 October 2026. Across the 15 products we price it runs from £1.62 to £187.43 a month. A month is 30 days, and the figure follows the dose you enter in the table.
Do bigger milk thistle packs cost less per dose?
Mostly, yes: on 20 October 2026, the 2 packs that last more than six months average 7p per 150 mg, against 78p for the 13 that last six months or less. The table marks the cheapest pack that lasts six months or less as the best value for anyone who would rather not buy a year at once.
How long does a pack of milk thistle last?
At one 150 mg dose a day, the packs we price last from 4 days to 12 months; the middle one lasts 43 days. Each row says how long its pack lasts at the dose you enter.
What does “per 150 mg” mean?
It is the unit we use to put every product on the same scale: the price of 150 mg of silymarin, whatever the pack size or serving size. It is a comparison unit, not a recommendation of how much to take. Use the “Your daily dose” box to see costs at the amount you actually take.
Why is a product I have seen in the shops missing?
If a retailer’s listing does not let us confirm the amount per serving, the pack size or the form, we do not guess and we do not show the product. It appears once its label has been read and confirmed.
How up to date are the prices?
Prices on this page were last checked on 20 October 2026. Every table shows the date its prices were checked. Always confirm the price on the retailer’s site before buying.
Do retailers pay to appear higher?
No. We earn a commission when you buy through our links, but the order is set only by price per dose. No retailer or brand can pay for position.
