1. Monaco Silymarin Solutions
Founded in 2005, Monaco Silymarin Solutions has grown from a small lab to one of the principality's most trusted names in silymarin manufacturing. What sets them apart? Their unwavering focus on pharmaceutical-grade quality. "We start with the best milk thistle seeds—sourced from organic farms in France and Italy—and use a cold-extraction process to preserve silymarin's potency," explains CEO Marie Dubois. The result? A silymarin extract with a minimum 80% purity, ideal for high-end supplements and pharmaceutical formulations.
Why They Stand Out
Beyond their strict quality control (they're ISO 9001 and GMP certified), Monaco Silymarin Solutions prides itself on sustainability. Their production facility runs on 100% solar energy, and they've partnered with local farmers to ensure fair trade practices. "Our clients aren't just buying an extract—they're buying peace of mind," Dubois adds. With clients spanning Europe, Asia, and North America, they're a go-to for businesses that prioritize both quality and ethics.
Key Products
Pharmaceutical-grade silymarin extract (80-95% purity), organic milk thistle extract, and custom formulations for liver support supplements. They also offer bulk quantities for large-scale manufacturers.
2. Riviera Natural Extracts
If you're in the market for bulk milk thistle extract at competitive prices, Riviera Natural Extracts is your match. Established in 2010, this family-owned wholesaler has built a reputation for reliability, thanks to their global network of trusted farmers and state-of-the-art processing facilities in Monaco and southern France. "We specialize in making high-quality silymarin accessible to small and medium businesses," says founder Jean-Pierre Laurent. "Whether you need 50kg or 5000kg, we can deliver—no order is too big or too small."
Why They Stand Out
Riviera's secret weapon? Their quick turnaround times. With a dedicated logistics team, they can ship bulk orders to Europe within 48 hours and worldwide within a week. They're also certified ISO 22000 (food safety management) and Kosher/Halal, making them a favorite among food and supplement brands with diverse client bases. "We once fulfilled a last-minute order for a UK supplement company in three days," Laurent laughs. "That's the Riviera promise."
Key Products
Bulk milk thistle extract (silymarin 60-80%), silymarin powder, and standardized extracts for functional foods and beverages. They also offer private labeling for smaller brands.
3. Mediterranean Herbal Trading
For businesses that need more than just raw extracts—think ready-to-sell silymarin supplement blends—Mediterranean Herbal Trading is a top choice. Founded in 2012, this supplier and distributor works with a network of labs to create pre-formulated blends, saving clients time and resources. "We know not every company has the R&D team to develop a liver support supplement from scratch," says product manager Luca Rossi. "Our blends are tested for efficacy and taste, so you can start selling right away."
Why They Stand Out
Mediterranean Herbal Trading's blends are designed with consumer trends in mind. Their bestseller? A "Liver Detox Complex" that pairs silymarin with artichoke extract and dandelion root—ingredients known to support liver health. They're also FDA-registered and GMP certified, ensuring compliance with global regulations. "We recently launched a vegan-friendly version, and it's been flying off the shelves," Rossi notes. "We stay ahead of the curve so our clients can too."
Key Products
Silymarin supplement blends (capsules, tablets, and powders), private-label detox formulas, and custom blends tailored to client specifications.
4. Principality Extracts Monaco
Principality Extracts Monaco isn't just a manufacturer—they're a partner for brands looking to innovate. Since 2015, they've specialized in OEM (original equipment manufacturing) and custom formulations, working closely with clients to bring their unique silymarin products to life. "We once helped a cosmetic brand create a liver-support serum with silymarin—yes, you read that right," jokes R&D director Sophie Leclerc. "Silymarin's antioxidant properties aren't just for supplements; they're great for skincare too!"
Why They Stand Out
With ISO 13485 certification (medical device quality management), Principality Extracts is trusted by pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies alike. Their in-house lab can test for everything from purity to stability, ensuring your product meets even the strictest standards. "We don't just produce—we collaborate," Leclerc emphasizes. "Our clients come to us with ideas, and we turn them into reality, whether it's a fast-dissolve tablet or a liquid extract."
Key Products
Custom silymarin formulations (tablets, capsules, liquids, and powders), cosmetic-grade silymarin extract, and medical-grade isolates for research purposes.
5. Azure Health Ingredients
Azure Health Ingredients is all about accessibility—they make high-quality silymarin available to businesses of all sizes, from startups to multinational corporations. Founded in 2018, this wholesaler and exporter has quickly made a name for itself with its competitive pricing and fast delivery. "We source directly from milk thistle farms in Eastern Europe, cutting out the middleman to keep costs low," explains founder Ali Khan. "But we never compromise on quality—our silymarin powder is tested in-house to ensure it meets 80% purity standards."
Why They Stand Out
Azure Health's Halal certification makes them a favorite in Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian markets, and their ISO 9001 certification ensures consistent quality. They also offer flexible payment terms for small businesses, making it easier to get started. "We know how tough it is to launch a supplement line, so we offer discounts for first-time buyers," Khan says. "Our goal is to help emerging brands grow."
Key Products
High-purity silymarin powder (80% purity), bulk milk thistle extract, and private-label capsules for small to medium brands.
6. Monaco Bioactive Supplies
For brands that prioritize organic ingredients, Monaco Bioactive Supplies is a no-brainer. Since 2010, they've focused exclusively on organic-certified silymarin and milk thistle extracts, sourced from USDA Organic and Ecocert-approved farms. "Organic isn't just a trend—it's a commitment to health and the planet," says sustainability director Elena Petrova. "Our milk thistle is grown without pesticides, and our extraction process uses only natural solvents like ethanol."
Why They Stand Out
Monaco Bioactive Supplies goes beyond basic organic certification—they're also Non-GMO Project Verified and carbon-neutral. Their facility in Monaco's Fontvieille district uses rainwater harvesting and composts waste, making them a leader in eco-friendly extraction. "We recently started offering a 'zero-waste' bulk option, where the extract is packaged in reusable containers," Petrova adds. "Our clients love that they can reduce their environmental footprint while still getting top-tier silymarin."
Key Products
Organic milk thistle extract (silymarin 70-80%), organic silymarin powder, and certified organic supplement blends for health food stores.
7. Côte d'Azur Herbal Exports
Côte d'Azur Herbal Exports has been connecting Monaco's silymarin producers with the world since 2008. As a distributor and exporter, they specialize in getting bulk extracts and supplements into the hands of international buyers, with a focus on speed and reliability. "We have warehouses in Monaco, France, and Germany, so we can ship to most of Europe in 24 hours," says logistics manager Pierre Moreau. "For clients in Asia or the Americas, we partner with trusted freight forwarders to ensure on-time delivery."
Why They Stand Out
What makes Côte d'Azur unique is their deep understanding of global regulations. "Exporting silymarin can be tricky—each country has its own rules," Moreau explains. "We handle all the paperwork, from customs declarations to certification translations, so our clients don't have to stress." They're also ISO 22000 certified, ensuring food safety throughout the supply chain. With a client list that includes major supplement brands in the US and Australia, they're a reliable bridge between Monaco and the rest of the world.
Key Products
Bulk silymarin extract, silymarin capsules & tablets, and private-label supplements for international markets.
8. Monaco Natural Health Traders
Monaco Natural Health Traders is a favorite among small businesses and local retailers, thanks to their focus on premium, small-batch silymarin products. Founded in 2013, they source from ｓｅｌｅｃｔ manufacturers in Monaco and the south of France, curating a lineup of high-quality supplements that cater to niche markets. "We specialize in products that you won't find in big-box stores," says owner Jacques Renard. "Think silymarin extract in liquid form for faster absorption, or chewable tablets for kids and seniors."
Why They Stand Out
Monaco Natural Health Traders prides itself on customer service—Renard and his team are happy to answer questions and provide samples to new clients. They're also Kosher and Organic Certified, making their products accessible to diverse audiences. "A local health store owner once asked if we could create a silymarin supplement with no added sugars, and we made it happen in two weeks," Renard recalls. "We're small enough to be flexible, but experienced enough to deliver quality."
Key Products
Premium silymarin supplements (liquid extracts, chewable tablets, and vegan capsules), organic milk thistle tea blends, and small-batch bulk extracts for local businesses.
9. Alpine Extracts Monaco
Alpine Extracts Monaco is where science meets nature. Since 2017, they've combined cutting-edge research with traditional herbalism to create some of the purest silymarin isolates on the market. "Our lab team works with universities across Europe to study silymarin's benefits—we're currently researching its potential role in supporting liver health in patients with fatty liver disease," says chief scientist Dr. Henri Dubois. "This research isn't just for show; it helps us refine our extraction process to maximize silymarin's efficacy."
Why They Stand Out
Alpine Extracts holds an ISO 17025 certification for laboratory testing, meaning their purity claims are backed by rigorous science. Their pharma-grade silymarin isolate (95% purity) is used in clinical trials and high-end pharmaceutical products. "We don't cut corners," Dr. Dubois emphasizes. "Each batch is tested 12 times before it leaves our facility. For researchers and pharmaceutical companies, that level of precision is non-negotiable."
Key Products
Pharma-grade silymarin isolate (95% purity), research-grade extracts for academic studies, and high-purity silymarin powder for advanced supplements.
10. Mediterra Silymarin Co.
Rounding out our list is Mediterra Silymarin Co., a wholesaler and trader with a focus on affordability without sacrificing quality. Since 2011, they've built a reputation for offering bulk milk thistle extract at competitive prices, making them a top choice for budget-conscious businesses. "We source from multiple manufacturers, which lets us negotiate better rates and pass the savings on to our clients," explains sales director Sofia Martinez. "Our silymarin 60% extract is a bestseller—it's perfect for entry-level supplements and functional foods."
Why They Stand Out
Mediterra Silymarin Co. understands that not every business needs ultra-high purity. Their range includes silymarin extracts from 60% to 80% purity, so clients can choose the option that fits their budget and product goals. They're also HACCP and ISO 9001 certified, ensuring safety and consistency. "We recently added a 'sample pack' option—1kg bags so new clients can test our extract before committing to bulk orders," Martinez says. "It's all about building trust."
Key Products
Bulk milk thistle extract (silymarin 60-80%), budget-friendly silymarin powder, and wholesale capsules for value-focused supplement brands.
