Question
Hi Suz
I am 50,no major health issues except overweight.
Two months ago I quit drinking,started exercising and eating healthy.I also satarted taking this supplement:http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=2483&at=0
I think it is repairing my liver after years of alcohol and drug abuse,and I am even losing a bit of fat.In the past I have gone on these 'health kicks' but didnt see any benefits until I started using this.
Is it safe to contine using indefinately,should I take a break,or should I stop altogether now that I feel I am on the road to recovery?
Also,I have found that in the past the herbs and supplements I took for weight loss were ineffective,but now that my liver has improved,I believe they may be working.
I am taking CLA,coconut oil,and resveratrol.Same question-can I keep taking these,should I take a break,stop when I have reached my goal,etc?
Thanks!

Answer
 Hi,
That's all great news. If you're that sure it's helping why not take it for another month or two? If you want to take a break there is no literature that I know of that recommends you do so. But if you think you'd like to why not just stop taking it the first week of each month.
I've always thought milk thistle was wonderful for liver function. You're making very wise choices; congratulations. Suz
