Hi All,

Does anyone know the max dosage per weight for milk thistle (Silymarin active ingredient), or the dosage for children?

Thanks,
Bubba

From my notes. For a start:

Milk Thistle Seed

From: The One Earth Herbal Sourcebook (Tillotson, et.al.)

Nutritional Supplements in Disseminated Lyme Disease

J.J. Burrascano, Jr., MD (2008)

On page four, he says:

" . . . MILK THISTLE - Useful to support liver function. Take 175 mg daily - use an 80% Silymarin extract."

PubMed Search:

Milk Thistle - 301 abstracts

Silymarin - 1187 abstracts

Milk Thistle is discussed here on page 9:
