A member asked:
Taking milk thistle and alpha lipoic acid and started feeling unusual lethargy. i read they both lower blood sugar. will this go away or shud i stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The blood: lowering effects are very minimal and will not lead to hypoglycemia in an otherwise normal individual. However, they won't help any known medical problem and are a waste of money. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or internet scams.
