What do you mean how do you know if it's working? Why are you taking it?

I don't think it will turn your urine an amber color, vitamins will or dehydration but not milk thistle. The only way to possibly know if it is really working is to get liver values from boodwork. If you are taking it ,it should be working , wouldn't worry.

If it's being used to protect your liver while taking orals, then you won't really know that it's working, but you'll definitely know if it's NOT. You'll turn yellow.
