Does anyone here take MT ? If so what is the normal daily dose? I took it years ago for a illness I had and It helped a great deal. Thanks.

My DH and I both take it, Dr Oz recommends it for liver health. My DH started taking it years before Dr Oz was on TV, he takes 350 mg daily, I take 175 mg daily. It is also known as Silymarin.

I take about 280milligrams (1/8 teaspoon) per day. What I use is a powder form. No additives.

JMHO (well, not just mine - see the raves on Amazon), but "Jarrow Formulas" makes the best standardized version of milk thistle.

Been taking it for years for liver support, and it's been very beneficial. 8)

I've had to take lots of daily meds since I was in teens/20's, so any help I can give my kidneys and my liver is priceless.

I have been taking milk thistle for years. I also have fed it to my birds in the whole seed form for many years. My oldest cockatiel is 25 now and his good health is from feeding him organic whole milk thistle seeds.

I just ordered the Jarrow brand from Amazon, looking forward to having my liver cleansed!
