Legalon’s unique formulation

Legalon contains a specific extract of Silybum marianum (MZ 80) that has been used in numerous clinical trials and is the benchmark silymarin product worldwide. Legalon capsules are produced using a patented process, resulting in a standardised product with excellent bioavailability.

Legalon is clinically proven, it is the exact product that has been used in numerous clinical trials. This is very important for natural medicines as there can be great variance between products, even if they appear to use the same active ingredients, due to the part of the plant that is used, as well as the growing, harvesting and production conditions & methods. The outcomes of clinical studies for natural medicines should therefore only apply to the exact product that has been tested. As a result, other products containing silymarin may not deliver the same results that Legalon has demonstrated in the research.

Directions & dosage

Adults and adolescents 12 years and over: 1 capsule three times a day

Once the desired therapeutic outcome is achieved, the dose may be reduced to 1 capsule twice daily for maintenance.
Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, or the condition recurs, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional.

Frequently asked questions

How does Legalon differ from other silymarin products?
