A. Vogel product advisor explains how milk thistle is good for the liver and who might benefit from extra liver support. Read more over on her blog: www.avogel.co....
I just bought milk thistle for the first time today. I have liver fibrosis. I also drink beer very often. I know I shouldn't, but it's hard to resist the urge. Especially since I live alone.
I’m a recovering addict Iv stopped all processed foods drugs and alcohol iv started using milk thistle amongst others to help repair and reverse any damage as much as possible.. currently parasite clensing and fruit fasting to promote more healing benefits and I feel amazing.. I’m constantly getting told how good my skin looks.. I also ended up with a ulcer on my leg it’s been there 3 years since getting sober and the changes to my diet it’s 90% healed already mind blowing difference
Stephanieinglett It is a roasted bean problem is we add refined sugar. I understand that refined sugar impairs the immune system and promotes obesity, also contributes to many other problems. In moderation though, I agree with you.
Hi Dean Unfortunately, it is difficult to say, sorry, as it may depend on the severity of the damage. In this situation it may be a good idea to seek the advice of a Medical Herbalist. They can formulate a personalised treatment plan for you with support.
Really good to know. Many thanks for sharing I generally eat very healthy and am 100% alcohol free. I consistently do regular cardio and resistance training. So it was quite the shocker for me when my most recent blood test revealed mildly elevated liver enzymes 😮. I am scheduled for an abdominal ultrasound in 2 weeks to confirm if my liver is inflamed.Based on the research on milk thistle. I started supplementing with a supplement that contains a combination of milk thistle, dandelion powder, and turmeric. It allegedly takes 3 weeks to work, but my ultra sound is in two weeks . I also started consuming dandelion tea which I brew with my morning coffee. Fingers crossed, it help addresses the issue and ultrasound assessment is good. 🙏 Diet, and exercise wise I cannot do anything more. I am eating healthy(no refined carbs or ultraprocessed foods, never had to take tylenol). I am and have consistently consumed all foods known to be good for liver. I am also not obese and have not gained a ton of fat since I had the blood test and shocking blood test results.
@@AvogelCoUk Many thanks for the kind words I hope so too.! 🙁 Worst part is not knowing and waiting for ultrasound and results. I have two weeks before the test, and have been taking more proactive action focusing on a super liver friendly diet combined with continued cardio, resistance training, and some heavily researched beneficial supplements
Please look into dr sebi the importance of fasting and fruit fasting im a recovering addict and Iv has hepatitis c before and I’m healed from it.. fasting repairs your body on a cellular level and is the great healer do yourself a favour and start doing it
That's great Kate - thanks. I'll remember to use it on the next one. But seriously I can't find good info on how to pick and process it oneself unless it's just grinding the dry seeds, even then there's no dosing recommendation. Any clues there? Slainte va
Hi The best thing to do is ask the advice of a Medical Herbalist; they will be able to give you the correct information on making a remedy, how much you need and any safety issues that may be advisable to know.
@@AvogelCoUk I think you may have missed the irony there... was just hoping for some rough guidelines for people unable to get to a herbalist or just interested in the old ways. No matter.
Hi Marina It's best to seek the advice of a Herbalist just to make sure that you are using the correct seeds and the best way to take them, we only use them in the tincture, sorry.
1. Does milk thistle decreases sperm count? 2. Does it increases estrogen hormone? 3.is there a any chance of gynecomestia disease by taking it? Reply please And thanks for your helpful video ma'am 🙏
One thing I'd like to know is how is this supposed to heal the liver to repair it while it's sitting in vodka for 6 to 8 weeks doesn't that kill the liver?
A Vogel doesn't use vodka in the tincture, a very small amount of medicinal alcohol is in each dose but If you don't want the alcohol, you can take the tablets
There are no contraindications listed for men taking the Milk Thistle, however, if you are under the guidance of a doctor/consultant for your liver, it is recommended that you discuss taking this with them first.
Please tell me the best dosage it's so complicated lol. On amazon there is 4000mg with 80% silymarin and there's 2000mg with 80% silymarin. What's the difference? What is the 4000mg and 2000mg about? Both say 80% silymarin I don't know which to take.
There are many different brands of Hypericum and they can vary by amount and quality of herb used so we always recommend taking the stated dose on the product you have purchased. That company should be aware at what dose their own product shows benefit.
Ive heard that you shouldn't take this at the same time as Medications? So Meds/ Supplements in the Morning and Milk Thistle in the Evening. Any advice pls?
Two points she makes are incorrect. 1. While MT does indeed benefit the liver in many ways, antioxidant support is not one of them. 2. Drinking coffee regularly is one of the most effective things you can do to help protect your liver.
Thank you for your comments. 1. You may be interested in research such as this onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ptr.3207 2. Metabolising caffeine disturbs blood sugar regulation by the liver, which is undesirable. In high concentrations (notably energy drinks), caffeine can be harmful to the liver. There are many caffeine-free ways to support liver function, without risking negative side issues.
Milk thistle does not give insomnia, no. If you are dealing with insomnia it is likely something else. If you would like to try a herbal remedy for insomnia you can try Dormeasan Sleep - www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/valerian-hops-dormeasan/. This can be taken alongside Milk Thistle if needed.
The main working time for the liver is approx 1-3am so if you take liver stimulating herbs before going to bed, this could impact on sleep. It's best to take the Milk Thistle in the morning and no later than 5-6pm at night.
There is a difference of opinion regarding coffee; from our experience many people find reducing or cutting coffee from their diet improves their general wellbeing so we tend not to recommend it.
Hi just found out my liver is fatty. No real damage done yet just fatty, what do you think in terms of helping with the fat is this something milk thistle does ? If not anything else you'd recommend? I'm irish too btw so love the advice from a fellow irish person 😅

Wow, well done for succeeding with this! Good to hear that the Milk Thistle is part of your recovery!
@@AvogelCoUk thank you 😊
Have you tried Castor oil mixed with drops of rosemary essential oil on the leg sore? Heals wonderfully 💖
Very good supplement makes skin look healthy
That you for this feedback and glad to hear it helps!
I take milk thistle daily, although I didn't realize all it's benefits. Ty
You're welcome!
When do you take it?
Me, too. Discovered it when I caught viral hepatitis A.
Regular coffee drinking IS good for the liver though
Gotta be organic and plain black coffee
@@_patontheback_ & mycotoxin free - been drinking mushroom adaptogen coffee lately which is good
If you need caffeine. Just drink.black tea or green tea. That will do just fine and help cleanse liver
Thank you my friend...God bless you God bless me God bless every good people ☺️
You are so welcome!
Coffee has been found to be good for livers.
Hi Stephanie
I'm afraid that we don't recommend coffee

I agree with you. Fasting triggers the immune system. And we found out during Covid-19 that obesity shuts it down.

There are no contraindications listed taking Milk Thistle with these meds and, yes, men can take it too.

I never drink coffee and never will. I will, however, continue to take milk thistle for liver protection.
I found after I took one pill I experienced chest pain on my right side it scared me is that normal?
Hi Cilla
I've not heard of this, Milk Thistle is usually well tolerated but if you feel that this was a reaction, it's best not to take again

Although there are no contraindications listed, we would advise that you discuss using it with your doctor first.
Is it okay to take once a day?

that was lame. thistle helps moderately in some aspects but not enough to call it a cure all.
