Does Alcohol Interact With Milk Thistle?

default
Posted on Fri, 16 Jun 2017
Question: I am taking organic milk thistle by Oregon's Wild Harvest. I drink alcohol and I'm wondering if it's okay to take milk thistle while drinking alcohol. Also, are there other vitamins that cannot be taken while taking milk thistle? Thank you.

Brief Answer:
No documented interactions with alcohol!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I have reviewed this information fully. There are no reported interactions between alcohol and milk thistle. However, alcohol in excess quantities is not at all advised as it seriously damages the liver and other organs too.

There are no restrictions on taking any vitamins alongside milk thistle.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if you need more information or clarifications.

Kind regards
