These substances include alcohol and the waste products of using certain medications. Your liver can do only so much. If you have a little too much bad stuff in your blood, your primary care physician might detect this in his lab work and have you try taking two thisilyn capsules per day. In this situation, the thisilyn might be able to soak up the excess bad stuff and rest an overworked liver. If you have far too much bad stuff in your blood, your primary care physician probably will realize thisilyn is not enough and will recommend a different approach. I had a little too much bad stuff in my blood, take two thisilyn capsules per day and feel completely normal.I chose this brand because it's recommended by the Mayo Clinic website (it's sold in the U.S. under the brand name Thisilyn and in Germany as Legalon). I've only been taking it a few days (three capsules spread throughout the day on an empty stomach, as recommended), and I haven't had any side effects at all. I'll be taking it indefinitely along with taking better care of my liver in general (e.g., a diet heavy in spinach and other vegetables that detoxify the liver). You only have one liver. Be good to it! P.S. My doctor couldn't make any promises for what Thisilyn might do for me, but he did say that it wouldn't do me any harm.I've been long on having stomach and intestinal distress especially directly after eating with no relief from the medical profession. To modern medicine, if there are no tests indicating a problem, there is no issue. Somewhat recently, I came across Milk Thistle on some holistic site. Normally I don't pay too much heed to the 'natural' remedies but I decided to try some. Well, golly go molly on the trolley to be well. Right away I felt very much better after eating - it was immediate relief. I don't know the how or what of it but I do know the result.It’s a miracle vitamin . I have been taking it for a month and now I ordered the second bottle on amazon .I've been taking this brand of milk thistle for years. Essential for liver care. I love that I can order this online because sometimes it's hard to find.
