    I take it sometimes before I go out and have a drink.
    Milk thistle may protect the liver against toxicity from alcohol as it is supposed to make the liver process toxins more efficiently.

    Important to know.
    Milk thistle may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.

  • Read the instruction leaflet.

    I took it and was very sick with it as it clashed with a migraine tablet I take on occasion. Milk Thistle is a very condensed dose.

    If you think you have a problem with your liver, rather go to the doctor for blood tests. Liver is not something to mess with.
