milk thistle dosage

Guys, Does any1 take milk thistle? I have been taking them on a daily basis since going on combo-treatment. From what i have read it does help the normal functioning of the liver so what is good can't be bad huh.... Well my question is, currently i take 1 milk thistle daily on dosage: 175mg. However, in my local health store, they are advertising Super Milk thistle tabs at 3000mg. Do you think it would not be wise to change over to such a higher tab?

What would be a good dosage of milk thistle? I bought a concentrated extract 1000mg softgels from WalMart but the suggested use is so vague, "take 1 two to four imes daily". I am also wondering how others have gained from ths herb?

Yes, Milk Thistle is available specifically formulated for dogs. Human varieties should not be given, as they contain alcohol and sometimes other things that are unsuitable for canines. Here's a link for dog-friendly Milk Thistle (but there are lots, so you could just Google "Milk Thistle for Dogs"). http://search.petwellbeing.

I started the milk thistle about a month ago. I take about 450 mg/day. The dosage was tough for me to determine. I ended up using this website: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/milk-thistle-000266.htm I also take green tea extract and I drink green tea. I don't take much of the extract (and I take a decaf variety) and I green one cup of green tea a day which I'd like to increase but then I'd have to drink less coffee. I don't take any other meds at all.

Why are you considering taking milk thistle? Do you have liver disease? Milk thistle hasn’t really shown much in the way of clinical evidence of being effective for treating liver injury.

Does anyone know if milk thistle is good, bad, or of no effect? I read somewhere that it is helpful for liver problems so started taking it. I won't see my dr. for almost three months so can't ask him until then.

Milk thistle is used for the liver - - - there are no contraindications for the milk thistle and pain pills .......

How many among you are taking or have taken Milk Thistle. I started taking one tablet a day and Doc was amazed to see decline in the Viral Load from 11000 to 120 in less than 3 months.

I forgot to tell you after you go to mayo clinic review of milk thistle you go to the site that says Milk Thistle and under that it has Mayo Clinic and it does give a web address www.mayoclinic.com/health/silymarin/NS-patient-milkthistle/ I tried it and can't get there so it is easier to just do it like I said.

I would like more information on this milk thistle everyone keeps talking about along with what is classified as a 'heatlhy diet'..... From vegetables, fruit, drinks, meat etc.....

s Way Brand Milk Thistle, which - according to the packaging - contains 175 mg Milk Thistle extract (seed), 80% silymarin; and 180 mg Blessed Thistle (stern, leaf, flower). Is this safe? Is it helpful? Is there any kind of sensation at the liver site which indicates that you need to seek medical help immediately? I've read on the forum that some people actually experience bleeds. Does this manifest as bruising, or can it happen w/o any visible indications?

We do have the right to express our opinions, with a few exceptions, health matters being one of them, that arena needs peer reviewed science. Did I miss something regarding milk thistle? The main point seems to be milk thistle "walls" off the live preventing it from doing its job.

I am planning on going back to get another blood test soon, however, wanted to share with the group that I started taking Milk Thistle about three weeks ago to see whether this might help lower my enzyme levels to normal. What I have been finding is that I no longer need to take the prilosec or zantac, there is something (or appears to be something) in the Milk Thistle that is both helping me feel better as well as well as lowering my need for prilosec or other antacids.

html FYI....This link from Hepatitis C Central explains the advantages of taking Milk Thistle for anyone with Hep C, including taking it during treatment. I just wanted to pass this on if any of you are currently NOT taking this supplement. I have been taking this for years and am convinced that it has helped me. I hope this helps someone out there!

I have no insurance and Ive been turned down from Medicaid 2 times...Which means No G.I. Doctor , in fact no Dr. at all but a Primary Doctor at a clinic here in Savannah Ga. ! He informed me he knows absolutely nothing about liver disease's etc.
