 There is accumulating evidence from various sources that extracts from the milk thistle plant can be useful in the treatment of a variety of liver ailments as well as other disorders. This investigation will essentially be composed of two individual normal volunteer studies of milk thistle. The first study will assess the rate and extent of absorption of components of a standardized botanical extract obtained from the milk thistle plant. This first study is termed a bioavailability study. This investigation will take approximately 8 weeks and involve 10 clinic visits. Secondly, a drug interaction study will be performed. This is an assessment study of the potential for this botanical extract to interact with other prescription or over-the-counter medications. This study is also expected to take approximately 8 weeks but will involve 18 clinic visits. In both studies all subjects will receive the same milk thistle supplement and no placebo will be administered.
