Or should it be staggered a couple of hrs between abx and probiotics?

I'd like some info too, can you take it with food? And how about timing with other meds/supplements.

Thanks, diana

I take Milk Thistle with food and with pro-biotics.
Since it is a major liver cleanser it is a good
idea to take it away from meds/abx as it can
pull some of it out. Others have said not to take
it while on meds. like Mepron as it can decrease
that one.

So bottum line IMO it is ok to take with
pro-biotics or other supplements but not
with abx or other meds.

This is included in Burrascano's Guidelines, but you may want to be able to refer to it separately, too:
