LipoMicel Milk Thistle

Participants receive their treatment of a novel micellar Milk Thistle formulation (i.e, LipoMicel soft-gel capsules) at a total dose of approx. 140 mg of silymarins per capsule. Treatments are consumed with a glass of water (approx. 125mL), followed by a standardized breakfast (diet-controlled condition). Capillary whole blood samples are collected at different time points up to 24 hours post-dose. A washout period of 1 week between each treatment is used.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LipoMicel Milk Thistle

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

A maximum single dose of approx. 140 mg silymarin (in soft gel capsule)

Unformulated/Standard Milk Thistle Extract

Participants receive their treatment of standard/unformulated Milk Thistle (i.e, hard-gel capsules) at a total dose of approx. 130 mg of silymarins per capsule. Treatments are consumed with a glass of water (approx. 125mL), followed by a standardized breakfast (diet-controlled condition). Capillary whole blood samples are collected at different time points up to 24 hours post-dose. A washout period of 1 week between each treatment is used.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Unformulated Milk Thistle Extract

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT
