Go out and pick up some "Milk Thistle". Milk Thistle is a superior antioxidant and liver protector. Milk thistle contains silymarin, a flavanoid that has been shown to aid in healing and rebuilding the liver. Take 200 to 400 milligrams, 3 times daily.

Milk thistle though great it would be best to check with your Doctor or Pharmacist. If your medication is processed through the CYP3A4 enzyme the level of the medication in your body can be increased. So it is best to talk to your Doctor or Pharmacist before taking any Milk Thistle.
