Q: how much milk thistle a day is safe to take through a supplement if i want to add a protective factor to my liver?

: Unfortunately, there is no protective medication or supplement for the liver. If you want to protect the liver you should avoid alcohol and do not take any supplements or herbal products with unproven or unnecessary benefits.
