    Default Is anyone using "Milk Thristle"?

    I started using it last week and have noticed that my bloated stomach is getting smaller.
    I had heard that a large tummy may mean problems with a fatty liver so i started taking it for that reason.
    Anyone else taking it?

    I take it. I have a fatty liver that I wouldn't have known about but it showed on lab tests. Now it doesn't show on lab tests, but I don't notice a difference in the way I look.

    Default Hi Julie,

    I've heard that 1/3 of your blood is in the liver at all times, since it filters the blood that seems possible and when we use to eat everything under the sun our blood was filthy.
    How long have you been taking the milk thristle?
    I've been on mine for about a week and a half.

    Not sure how long I've been taking it. Probably about a year and a half or so.
