Are there benefits/detriments to taking ND's Berberine+Silymarin tablets before or after drinking alcohol?

Original post in this thread

I take ND's Berberine/Silmarin tablets in part to minimize liver damage from alcohol consumption. That said, I haven't been able to find anything regarding when they would best be ingested, and more specifically, whether consuming a tablet shortly prior to, while, or shortly after drinking alcohol would be beneficial or (more importantly) detrimental in any way.

Does anyone, including especially a member of the ND staff, have further information about this?

It's a complex interaction. Berberine can inhibit liver alcohol dehydrogenase. In theory that might make metabolism of alcohol slower. However, I am not sure there are any direct in-vivo studies on that. I personally take berberine/silymarin in the morning, and sometimes drink in the evening. I have not had any real issues with it, but I also take reduced glutathione 3X per day.

⚠️ NEW PRODUCT ALERT | High Potency Milk Thistle Capsules | 200mg of Silymarins from Silybum marianum ⚠️

Replying to iwantmyownname · If you mean percentage of silymarins, you get roughly 40% silymarins in the regular milk thistle powders, (4:1) which comes out at 100mg~ for a 250mg dose This gives double that 2…

Also, keep in mind that every single other milk thistle product we tested on the market failed for label claims. They were all universally lower in silymarins than they claimed. Ours is 100% validated at 200mg/capsule wi
