What Are the Side Effects of Phoenix Nutrition Milk Thistle Extract Tablets 4000 mg?
Always consult your health practitioner if in doubt.
RiskLow Risk
Overview
•Standardised milk thistle extract is generally well-tolerated, with mild gastrointestinal upset or loose stools being the most commonly reported side effects.
•Silymarin can inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes (such as CYP2C9 and CYP3A4) and P-glycoprotein, potentially altering blood levels of narrow therapeutic index medications.
•Those with known allergies to plants in the Asteraceae/Compositae family (ragweed, daisies, marigolds) should use caution due to potential cross-reactivity.
•Due to limited clinical safety data during gestation and lactation, milk thistle is not routinely recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
•Formulated without common allergens including gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, fish, and nuts, using standard excipients (cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, stearate, silica).
