    I just bought milk thistle for the first time today. I have liver fibrosis. I also drink beer very often. I know I shouldn't, but it's hard to resist the urge. Especially since I live alone.

    Two points she makes are incorrect.
    1. While MT does indeed benefit the liver in many ways, antioxidant support is not one of them.
    2. Drinking coffee regularly is one of the most effective things you can do to help protect your liver.

      1. You may be interested in research such as this onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ptr.3207
      2. Metabolising caffeine disturbs blood sugar regulation by the liver, which is undesirable. In high concentrations (notably energy drinks), caffeine can be harmful to the liver. There are many caffeine-free ways to support liver function, without risking negative side issues.

      The main working time for the liver is approx 1-3am so if you take liver stimulating herbs before going to bed, this could impact on sleep. It's best to take the Milk Thistle in the morning and no later than 5-6pm at night.
