Can anyone recommend a good liver support that does not include milk thistle? I notice that I get liver pain whenever I take it, even if something contains it in a small amount.

Is there anything else I can do to support the liver without using the milk thistle? thanks in advance

D-limonene, (Jarrow 1000mg gels, 100 ct. is $10) works great for liver phase II methalation, works on gall bladder too. Its almost a secret for some reason. I cant take milk thistle.

I have some gene mutations for liver detox phaze II- so my body does not do this very well at all. I honestly can FEEL better the next day after taking one 1000mg gel tab of this stuff the night before. Its calming for sleep too, but wont make you tired the next day.

I use Pekana Apo-Hepat

It's homeopathy - don't think there is milk thistle in it.
You could ask the company if there is.

Alpha Lipoic Acid with biotin and Schizandra are the next best.
Inositol works well. Dandelion Root.
Artichoke extract is another.
I couldn't take milk thistle for a long which so I took these, in a rotation. I went to a naturopath about it that was experienced with lyme - S. Buhners partner and that is what she recommended to me and they helped. I can take milk thistle these days.
I did take on my own lipo glutathione it was a bit pricey but apparently there is a stage one and stage two liver detox pathway and glutathione is the major one for stage 2. What I listed above are stage 1. Can't say I noticed a difference. But I did feel alpha lipoic acid was a good choice for me.

I have a ragweed allergy and have been advised not to take milk thistle. If you're allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, chamomile, yarrow or daises, you may develop an allergic reaction to milk thistle.

I love the D-Limonene also. Super inexpensive. I did not have to take it daily and it worked. I still will do it now for heartburn. Fast and the only side effect I have found is a burpy taste of oranges.

I like using castor oil packs for liver support. They're gentle, effective, relaxing, and inexpensive.
