A member asked:
I have a hepatic steatosis caused by alcohol, i decided to take milk thistle, but i don't know safe doses, can you please advise me how much (minimum dose) leaves and seeds can i consume of milk thistle daily that it was safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Milk thistle is an OTC product and thus there is NO REGULATION of what they can put in it. I recommend not using any supplements as they Fido not have to demonstrate they are safe OR effective in doing anything. Beware.
