Does herbal supplementation of milk thistle increase estrogen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many unproven claims: There are many unproven claims about the benefits of milk thistle, but very little valid scientific information. Not recommended at this time and doesn't seem to increase estrogen. Don't get your health information from the internet.
