Liver injury

Supplements studied for liver injury.

Overview

It is unclear whether Milk Thistle helps traumatic liver injury. One ICU study found that taking milk thistle three times daily for two weeks lowered liver damage markers and improved blood antioxidants compared with placebo.

It is unknown whether this translates to faster recovery or shorter hospital stays. More research is needed. The evidence review below provides further context.
