Ancient herb tested to protect livers from modern medicines

NCT ID NCT05144217

Summary

This study tested whether giving higher or more frequent doses of silymarin, an extract from milk thistle, could better protect the liver in people who developed elevated liver enzymes from their medications. Over 35 days, researchers compared different silymarin doses to a placebo in a small group of 19 participants to see which was most effective at lowering these enzyme levels.
