Wink Re: Milk Thistle Dosing

I hope this isn't a duplicate. My computer just did something crazy and I have to start again.
I have taken milk thistle every day for almost 13 years since my diagnosis. The doctor who prescribed it changes the dose from time to time depending on my condition. I have never had liver mets. I am taking it to try to keep my liver healthy.
I would ask the person who okay'd it, a naturopathic physician or an integrative medicine doctor about the dose. Perhaps that person could talk to your oncologist or find out what else you are taking before deciding on the proper dose for you.
I would imagine that if a person has elevated liver enzymes or cancer in the liver a higher dose might be neccessary.
Take good care of yourself.
