RiskLow Risk
Overview
•Generally well tolerated across clinical trials, though mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as loose stools, nausea, or abdominal fullness can occur.
•People with known allergies to plants in the Asteraceae/Compositae family (ragweed, daisies, marigolds) may experience cross-reactive allergic reactions.
•Silymarin can inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes (particularly CYP2C9 and CYP3A4) and P-glycoprotein, potentially altering clearance of narrow-therapeutic-index drugs.
•Due to modest blood-glucose-lowering properties reported in metabolic trials, individuals on hypoglycemic agents should monitor glucose levels.
•Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established; avoid use unless explicitly recommended by a healthcare professional.
