I don't have the info on the strength of it, (the box doesn't say) but Milk Thistle tea is not bad. It just has an organic taste, which I like, but I add it to other teas or put a splash of juice in it and my boyfriend downs it like it's beer!
Something I am doing has really made me think more clearly, have more energy etc. and that all coincided with when I added Milk Thistle to my routine. I read up on it, and some people do take it every day, which I am doing now. Those on prescription meds or drink a lot of alcohol etc. can really benefit from milk thistle...I feel I am practically on meds with the PO. It is safe to consume daily, and no side effects are known.

Aboout my last message: I have never read about Milk Thistle being responsible for producing vitality or endurance etc. but why not? My liver has taken a beating my whole life, and the first week it is purposefully cleansed with Milk Thistle (tea and pills)...it makes sense to feel those benefits, right? It probably is thanking me for giving it a boost with all the work it has to do
Milk Thistle actually helps promote growth of new liver cells also. I thoroughly advocate the use of this herb!

Me again, I said there were no known side effects, I did read that once, but have since found out that milk thistle can have a mild laxative effect, serious side effects are uncommomon-- is a better statement.

thanx guys!
btw, ever since i started taking 2000mg instead of 1500mg of PO/day, i actually grew dramatically
im about 3/4 inches larger.. i really really hope i didnt measure it wrong.. but either way, they def. feel larger and firmer.

Dear Remmy,
How long did it take to grow that much, and were you doing herbs or BO before? I switched from BO to PO recently.
