Suppresses absorption of Milk Thistle. This medication is commonly used for Pain Management
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) contains a group of complex flavonoids called silymarin. This natural compound has been shown to increase glutathione levels in the liver. Acetaminophen, a widely used pain reliever and fever reducer, can be harmful to the liver in high doses or for people with certain risk factors. Research suggests that silymarin may help elevate glutathione levels within the liver. Glutathione is an important antioxidant that the body uses to combat damage, and its depletion is believed to play a role in how acetaminophen harms the liver.
