| Name: | Milk thistle | | Description: | For a liver support supplement particularly in abstaining alcoholics, milk thistle shows promise although not conclusive according to publications. |
|
| The effectiveness of milk thistle in human liver disease has not been established. This may be because of the scientific quality of study methods or published reports or both. Possible benefit has been shown most frequently, but not consistently, for improvement in aminotransferases, but liver function tests are overwhelmingly the most common outcome measure studied. Survival and other clinical outcome measures have been studied least often, with both positive and negative findings. |
