what is considered a good Milk Thistle product?

I have tried taking Milk Thistle again. I think it positively enhanced my prescription amphetamine (Dexedine). I don't know how or why exactly, unless someone here can figure out why this is. I did not take any other supplements. I did not take both at the same time but at least an hour apart. My Milk Thistle product is probably the #1 or #2 "best seller" on Amazon, for a reason. It is from Nature's Bounty "standardized extract" Milk Thistle, 250 mg. "Standardized to contain a minimum of 80% Silymarin". Is 80% Silymarin good enough?

So do they have a proper in-house lab like NOW Foods, or are you guessing they might? I've asked for test results from large supplement companies and sometimes they only have manufacturer CoA.

Nature's Bounty is huge here in the US. They are in every Walgreens around the country, and own a ton of different brands like Puritan's Pride, Solgar, MET-RX, GNC in the UK, etc. No idea about their testing, but they are massive. I think their revenue is like $4 Billion per year.
