I finally got into town today and while I was there, I bought some
turmeric and milk thistle capsules. Nine tsp of turmeric is just a bit
much, so I decided to switch to the extract in capsules. I don't think
I've noticed any change yet, but I'll finish the course. It's only been
a few days. It may be that it has more preventative power than curative
power, I dunno.
I saw milk thistle and remembered you guys saying it was good for the
liver, so I'd appreciate some dosage guidance. It says to take 1 tid
with food. I'm wondering if I can get by with 1 a day. I have stopped
taking some of my meds, and I really don't want to up the pill count if
I don't have to.
This is Spring Valley 175 mg milk thistle extract silybum marianum seed
standardized to contain 80% silymarin, 140mg
