I've been taking milk thistle long before I found out I was chronic. It worked amazing for the first couple months, more energy, focus, better mood. I'm not sure what state my liver was in at that time tho. Later on only certain brands of milk thistle worked well and now I'm either used to it or it's no longer working so well...

That is correct, it interferes with TDF. I have to wonder though, will it interfere with TAF (the new formula). I should ask my doctor about this. Maybe it's something they looked into.

many members, i did because a part of heptech ingredients

note that milk thistle is not the most potent antifibrotic, vit d, liposomal curcumin and liposomal resveratrol are more potent...the best thing is to take all antioxidants, not only milk thistle and change food to all fresh organic, no processed food with chemicals
