Dosage of organic milk thistle root capsules
Dosage of organic milk thistle root capsules for humans and animals:
| Application | Dosage & notes |
|---|---|
| Adults & children from 12 years | |
| Dosage | 2 capsules per day swallowed whole with sufficient water |
| Interval | Approx. 12 hours (e.g., 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.) |
| Meals | At least ½ hour gap (before and after) |
| Duration | Six weeks or longer |
| Breastfeeding | No restrictions |
| Pregnancy | There is no evidence that milk thistle is harmful in any way during pregnancy. It also does not contain any significant laxative substances. Borreliosis is riskier and more harmful in pregnancy in EVERY case. We still recommend discussing with your doctor before taking it. |
| Children under 12 years | |
| Dosage | 1 capsule in the morning with enough water |
| Meals | At least ½ hour gap (before and after) |
| Alternative | Open the capsule by gently pressing and twisting and administer the granulate with a small spoonful of honey. Not because honey is sweet and tastes good – that is just a side effect. Honey transports the milk thistle well into the blood. So a win-win situation. |
