Re: Milk thistle Alcohol vs. non alcohol???

[Guest guest]

Hi Jarad;

If it says on the bottle that the product contains alcohol then you

could presume that this would be bad for you. If it says, however.

that it is an " ethanolic extract " or an " alcohol extract " of the

herb, it may not necessarily mean that the final product contains

alcohol. Often, they will remove the alcohol (a fairly volatile

chemical) from the final product. Does it give a description of the

contents on the bottle? A good rule is never take anything that

doesn't provide a description of contents!

it matter whether the milk thistle extract has alcohol in it or not?

Will the alcohol be harmful for our liver?

Thanks Dave! I'll have to bring the bottle in to work and I'll get

back to you. Thanks,
