My GP told me not to bother with Milk Thistle it won't do any good he said don't waste your money.

Mine did too. He recommended B12, Calcium and Vitamin D.

With PBC it’s a good idea to get your vitamin D tested, we can often be deficient. I’ve been prescribed it for years now , to keep my levels up and if I stop taking it my levels fall again. But always ask your doctors before starting anything.

My specialist says it's fine to take but ask before you start. Been taking for years.

I will as I mine when I go this week. Do you think it has helped your numbers

No supplements, just follow your doc's recommendations, sometimes supplements has been known to make things worse, and can give false reading on lab work, speak with your doctor before taking any supplements. GL!
