Milk Thistle


My friends learned about my weakened liver condition while we were finishing that bottle of Chivas Regal. One suggested that I take milk thistle, the seed extract of which contains a lot of silymarin, which supposedly has beneficial effects for the liver, and promotes the lowering of blood cholesterol.  While clinical studies are actually inconclusive, I found myself purchasing a bottle of the product in the hope that this will make my liver tolerate some amount of good whiskey!
