Milk Thistle Powder Vs Standardized

[aProtege]

Well my old MT hasa been discontinued and i found a new one that has the following:

175mg Standardized
300mg Powder

where my previous was
250mg standardized

any thoughts?

My best guess is that the 300mg of powder contains 175mg standardized of milk thistle. Perhaps the powder isn't pure, somehow? Like it contains other parts of the plant?

This is complete speculation. Right now, I'm planning to simply get 1,000mg pills from Puritan's Pride unless I learn more and discover something else is a better option.

I like to take 500mg in the morning and 500mg in the evening to ensure im not pissing away my money.

They are listed seperately and the pills are fairly larger then my 250mg pills... i cant find anything on the net right now.

anyone?

Okay i found out, what it means is that standarized is 100% accountted for, meaning if it say 150mg it has 150mg. Powder is just a bunch of shit shoved in a pill and its contents are not 100%
