A quick safety check
Possible side effects: Bloating, nausea, gas or diarrhea; Allergic reactions, especially with ragweed-family allergies.
Before using it: Check with your clinician before starting, especially if you take prescription medications, as milk thistle can affect how quickly the liver metabolizes certain drugs; Diabetes medicines, liver treatment or hormone-sensitive conditions.
Educational only—not medical advice or a personal dose recommendation. Supplements can interact with medicines, health conditions, lab tests and surgery. Check a new product with a clinician or pharmacist who knows your history.
