About the use of Milk Thistle Extract,please find the comments as follows

Possibly Ineffective for:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Research shows that taking milk thistle for 8 weeks does not improve OCD symptoms.
Hepatitis B. Most clinical evidence suggests that milk thistle or specific chemicals from milk thistle do not improve liver function or reduce the risk of mortality in patients with hepatitis B.

Hepatitis C. Most clinical evidence suggests that milk thistle or specific chemicals from milk thistle do not improve liver function or reduce the risk of mortality in patients with hepatitis C.

Insufficient Evidence for:
Liver disease caused by excessive use of alcohol. There is conflicting evidence about the effectiveness of milk thistle for treating alcohol-related liver disease. Early research suggests that taking milk thistle by mouth might improve liver function and reduce risk of death. However, other research suggests it may not have an effect.
Alzheimer’s disease. Early research suggests that taking a combination supplement containing silymarin, a chemical found in milk thistle, seems to improve mental function in people with Alzheimer’s disease.
Amanita mushroom poisoning. Giving silibinin, a chemical found in milk thistle, intravenously (by IV) may lessen liver damage caused by Amanita phalloides mushroom (death cap) poisoning. However, it is hard to obtain silibinin in the U.S.

So we need to have further study of milk thistle extract.
