Description
SFI Health Legalon is a specialized liver health supplement crafted to support and protect healthy liver function. At the core of its formulation is a clinically researched extract of Silybum marianum, commonly known as Milk thistle. This unique MZ 80 extract is standardized to provide 140 mg of silymarin per capsule, ensuring consistent quality and efficacy.
Formulation
Each capsule contains 180 mg of Milk thistle fruit extract, equivalent to 7.2 g of dry fruit. The supplement is presented in hard gelatine capsules, reddish-brown in color, with a yellow powder inside. Each pack contains 60 capsules, designed for convenient dosage management.
Recommended Usage
The recommended dosage for adults and adolescents aged 12 and over is one capsule three times daily, taken with water. It is advised to continue this regimen for at least two months or as directed by a healthcare professional. After the initial period, the dosage may be reduced to one capsule daily or twice daily. Capsules can be taken before or after food, though if gastrointestinal discomfort occurs, it is recommended to take them with meals.
