Question: Does the over the counter supplement Milk Thistle really promote healthy liver function or is that a myth.?
Answers:
ABSOLUTELY!!! I was on a lot of pain pills and tylenol 3(which is one of the worst meds on your liver) for over five years and drank like a fish for way too many years. Due to my mother I have taken Milk Thistle for many years. About 3 months after I was off of my pain meds the dr.s checked my liver due to all of the pills I was taking and they themselves could not believe how my liver was in such good shape.Health Question & Answer
Milk thistle is one of our major liver herbs. It helps to keep your liver healthy, and repair any damage. However, OTC forms are often not very effective, they designed to be totally safe, as safe so people cannot hurt themselves. This might not give you the beneficial level you are after. Look for a herbalist, and get the proper dosage from a reliable manufacturing source.Health Question & Answer
False. The human liver does not need any help. If you want to maintain a healthy liver then don't drink in excess, and watch the real meds that you take. If you take milk thistle then this is just one more job your liver must perform to get rid of the stuff from your body.Health Question & Answer
Milk thistle has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety,and anything that they haven't checked out must not work as well for you so most likely you are just getting riped off buying it.Health Question & Answer
