Milk Thistle Side Effects
What's a safe milk thistle dosage?
There are not many milk thistle side effects.
All the side effects of milk thistle basically boil down to taking too much.
Over consumption is one of the main reasons why people experience side effects with health
supplements.
Because milk thistle is a natural herb, there aren't any health risks you need to worry about. If
you follow the milk thistle dosage that is recommended, you should be fine.
There are much more milk thistle benefits than side effects.
However, if you do consume too much, you might experience:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Headaches
Again, these side effects are rare and avoidable. Follow the instructions on the label.
In many of the scientific studies on milk thistle, humans experienced very few side effects.
When very large dosages were taken, some people experienced a laxative effect from the herb.
If
you experience any side effects, take half the dosage that is recommended, or stop
using the supplement.
What's a typical milk thistle dosage
Your daily dosage should contain around 300 mg of silymarin, taken 2 or 3 times per day.
If you stay under 1000 mg of silymarin per day, you should not experience any side effects.
It is important to read the supplement labels and make sure you follow these dosage guidelines.
There have been very few side effects of milk thistle in certain studies.
These only occured when individuals
were consuming more than 1500 mg of silymarin per day.
Product Recommendations:
To avoid side effects I would recommend Nature's Science Milk Thistle.
