No, this supplement is not standardized. Standardization is a form of processing in which the original nature of the herb is modified to focus on a specific constituent, in this case silymarin. Unfortunately, while scientists can isolate a constituent from an herb they inadvertently remove or overlook components that may contribute to the activity of the whole herb. Consequently, standardization may concentrate one constituent at the expense of other potentially important ones, while changing the natural balance of the herb’s components. That is why we focus on unprocessed, organic, whole foods and herbs in our supplements and herbal remedies.
