    Some cultures swear by it. I haven't seen any studies on it.

    I have no studies to back anything up positive or negative, but it is hard to believe an organic compound like it would have much bioavailability in the body after digestion..

    try posting in the supplement forum for better exposure

    It's doesn't hurt that the liver regenerates itself, milk thistle probably aids in the speed at which it regenerates.

    How would you know your liver is fine?

    Not that I disagree with your opinion of your liver. But your AST and ALT levels are not "liver health".

    I've had doctors tell me that milk thistle does not live up to it's hype whatsoever. I know someone with hepatitis c that is on all kinds of supplements recommended by her doctor. Milk Thistle was not one of them...
