Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 My Dr. had the same comment. I use Jarrow Formulas, 3 capsules/day with meals (150 mg of 80% extract yields 120 mg Silymarin each capsule).

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hi Arman; My son does not take milk thistle, and I have not researched brands and doses. I believe that Arne has already given the brand and dose that he takes, and I would have no reason to suggest another product or dose. You can read many articles on milk thistle and its active ingredients here: http://www.psc-literature.org/milk.htm http://www.psc-literature.org/silym.htm There are certainly some promising results with this supplement, but many articles seem to conclude that there is need for more research to prove that it is effective. But of course, this is also said about ursodiol in PSC! Best regards, Dave (father of (23); PSC 07/03; UC 08/03) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I started taking milk thistle a few months ago. My question is weather I need to stop taking it from time to time, or I can take it for years with no bad side effects? Has anyone had any problems with it in the long or short run? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
