Is it effective to use milk thistle in treating liver problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: There have been studies demonstrating benefit of milk thistle in a variety of liver problems, possibly in part due to increasing the concentration of glutathione in the liver. Glutathione is used to neutralize toxins.
