| - Silybum marianum has other common names include cardus marianus, milk thistle, blessed milkthistle, Marian thistle, Mary thistle, Saint Mary's thistle, Mediterranean milk thistle, variegated thistle and Scotch thistle. Milk thistle has been used for a number of purposes including liver disease, and cancer; however, clinical studies are largely heterogeneous and contradictory. In trials, silymarin has typically been administered in amounts ranging from 420–480 mg per day in two to three divided doses. However, higher doses have been studied, such as 600 mg daily in the treatment of type II diabetes (with significant results), and 600 or 1200 mg daily in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (without significant results). An optimal dosage for milk thistle preparations has not been established. Milk thistle is used in conjunction with other medications to clean the liver while taking medicine for which can cause problems with liver function.
