To my knowledge, there is no reliable information on the benefits of milk thistle seeds for reducing liver fibrosis. Perhaps one of the forum members has other information on this issue.

Many forum members have been strongly advised AGAINST using milk thistle by their hepatologists. Their is no proven evidence of it's benefits (only anecdotal) and some of these so called herbal, complementary or alternative remedies have actually turned out to be potentially dangerous to an already struggling liver.The BLT who host this forum provide some useful guidance on the topic. britishlivertrust.org.uk/in...

If you are planning to take anything other than what is prescribed to you then always seek your doctors advice first.

Keep well away from them! Only take medication prescribed by your doctor.

IMO natural remedies shown to work are called medicines. like others have said, I have been told to leave well alone
