Good question because I get addicted to Rockstar Drinks and that is one of the main ingredients.

250 mg is recommended dose so maybe up to a gram is safe. Make sure the milk tistle product is not an exctract, cause this affect bioactivity of sylimarin

Noticing any benefits yet?

Well...hope this isn't tmi, but within the first 2 days, I noticed my stool went from frothy yellow to normal, which hadn't been the case in months. However that was short-lived and now it's back again. No idea why, but I need to give it more time I think since I've only been taking it for about a week now. Still have referred pain to my right shoulder, too, which hasn't changed. I have higher hopes for the spanish black radish herb, because it has dissolved gallstones (in mice, anyway), which is what I suspect I have. Trying to keep my gallbladder by taking milk thistle, black radish, bile acids, dandelion tea, and phosphatidlycholine. These help the liver, gallbladder and bile flow per my research. I'm also eating healthier fats.
