Milk Thistle

[Guest guest]

I use for liver health and it started working in two days (my dd BM's went

form pale yellow looking to brownish looking).

Wow! I had no idea it could start working so quickly. I have been on milk

thistle since Halloween. The biggest change I have noticed is that my skin

coloring is better and my hair stopped falling out. I don't know if it's a

result of the milk thistle, enzymes, probiotics, diet or what. It's probably

a combo of all of it. My liver was defintely taxed from my leaky gut.

How do you give it to your dd? Right now I'm giving enzymes in chocolate

wafers that I make using Enjoy Life chocolate chips. I wonder if I could add

a little bit of milk thistle to those, or perhaps make separate chocolates

for the milk thistle. Does anyone make a chewable milk thistle, or is there

a palatable way to give it to a 2-y-o and 5-y-o? (We avoid fruit, so

applesauce is out.)

Thanks for the info.

I like HerbPharm's Healthy Liver Tonic (drops). Contains milk

thistle, oregon grape, fennel and one more item. Cannot detect when

added to a little juice.

I give it to her throw her feeding tube, so I am not much help for ideas. I

do give my older daughter enzymes and she likes it in juice, but you can't

do juice.

Along with Milk thistle, I also give her Taurine and Lypo gold enzymes.

Seems to be helping.

Sorry no much help for ideas.

1/4 cap a day. Doesn't matter if it's empty or with food.

We have the drops from Vitamin Shoppe.  56 drops = 2000mg.  I was thinking on

giving 15 drops three times per day.  Is that too much?

If you need to you can go higher on milk thistle and some studies have

shown it has an excellent effect on AST and ALT scores when given at

high doses.

Files say 20-80 mg per DOSE, 4 times per day. My son is 6 and 43 lbs and we use

about 70 mg per dose.
