I had been having severe insomnia and my sister suggested that the liver detoxes during sleep and that I might have some problems with my liver. She suggested I take milk thistle to help improve my liver function. Days after taking the milk thistle, I realized I didn't have insomnia any longe. I have recommended this for other who have reported insomnia and they have also reported an improvement in sleep.

Taking 1 milk thistle daily for period of time my liver enzymes decreased to normal range after being high for several years due to blood transfusion causing Hepatitis C. After a time I went off the drug for a time and my enzymes were high again. I believe it helps the liver and helps to stabilize sugar level. I recommend it and would suggest more research be done. A nurse friend of mine recommended Milk Thistle to me.
