Herbal Capsules with Nettle, Milk Thistle and Artichoke, 60 capsules

Herbal Capsules with Nettle, Milk Thistle and Artichoke, 60 capsules

This is a herbal preparation from DivineGoods in the form of capsules, composed of five plant extracts with well-described doses. In one capsule, you will find an extract from nettle leaves at a dose of 280 mg, an extract from milk thistle seeds also at a dose of 280 mg, an extract from artichoke leaves at a dose of 186 mg, and two raw materials at 92 mg each - an extract from couch grass rhizome and an extract from dandelion root.

The package contains 60 capsules, and the manufacturer recommends taking one capsule twice a day, preferably after a meal. The shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is a plant-based raw material, so the preparation is suitable for vegans; the manufacturer also declares a composition free from gluten, lactose, preservatives, and synthetic additives.

Ingredients

• Nettle leaf extract (Urtica dioica) - 280 mg per capsule
• Milk thistle seed extract (Silybum marianum) - 280 mg per capsule
• Common artichoke leaf extract (Cynara scolymus) - 186 mg per capsule
• Couch grass rhizome extract (Elymus repens) - 92 mg per capsule
• Dandelion root extract (Taraxacum officinale) - 92 mg per capsule
• Shell: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose of plant origin
• Free from gluten, lactose, preservatives, and synthetic additives

One thing stands out in this composition, which is not easy to find in the herbal capsule category: the manufacturer provides the dose of each extract separately and specifies it per capsule, rather than per unspecified serving. Two raw materials lead this formulation with a dose of 280 mg - nettle and milk thistle. Artichoke follows closely with a dose of 186 mg, while couch grass and dandelion close the composition, each at 92 mg.

All five are classic raw materials of Polish herbalism and all are presented here in the form of extracts, not powdered herbs.

Specification

How to use

The manufacturer provides a simple scheme broken down into two times of the day:

• Take 1 capsule twice a day, which means two capsules per day
• Preferably after a meal, drinking with a glass of water
• Swallow the capsule whole, without opening
• The manufacturer recommends a treatment lasting at least 30 days
• Do not exceed the recommended daily portion

For whom

This preparation is for people who want to have herbs in a convenient capsule instead of in a cup with an infusion. If brewing an infusion twice a day is logistically unrealistic for you, but you want to have in your routine the classic set of nettle, milk thistle, artichoke, couch grass, and dandelion, the capsule solves this problem in seconds.

It will also work for someone who compares preparations by doses: here each of the five extracts has a specified number of milligrams per capsule, so there is something to compare. The plant shell means that the preparation fits into a vegan diet, which is not obvious with hard capsules and is worth checking on the label. However, it is worth knowing two things.

The manufacturer assumes a treatment, not occasional use - it mentions a period of at least 30 days, and the package of 60 capsules covers exactly such a cycle. It also advises against the preparation for pregnant women and nursing mothers without prior consultation with a doctor, as well as for people taking liver-active medications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many capsules does the manufacturer recommend per day?

Two: one capsule twice a day, preferably after a meal and drinking with a glass of water. With this scheme, the package of 60 capsules lasts exactly for the minimum treatment period recommended by the manufacturer, which is 30 days. The capsule is swallowed whole, without opening and without dissolving the contents in water.

Do the specified doses refer to one capsule?

Yes, and the manufacturer states this directly. The values of 280 mg for nettle and milk thistle, 186 mg for artichoke, and 92 mg for couch grass and dandelion refer to one capsule. That is why the label of this preparation can be directly compared with another label providing doses in the same unit.

Is the preparation suitable for vegans?

Yes. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is a plant-based raw material, not from animal gelatin. The manufacturer also declares a composition free from gluten, lactose, preservatives, and synthetic additives, so the preparation also fits into elimination diets based on these criteria.

How long does one package last?

One month. With two capsules a day, the package of 60 capsules covers 30 days, which is the minimum treatment time indicated by the manufacturer. If you plan to use it for a longer period, it is worth considering this, as a single package only covers this first, basic treatment cycle.

Variants and category

From the same line of DivineGoods come herbal capsules with valerian and hops, and next to them are capsules with fish oil and vitamin D. All three items are gathered in the category Capsules.

The product is intended for adults. Do not use it if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients. Pregnant and nursing women should consult a doctor before starting use.
