Yes, definitely. This is actually one of the most effective herbal remedies, and a concentrated form is the only treatment for certain kinds of poisoning (death cap mushrooms).

Milk thistle may lose potency over time, and you can never be sure if store-bought preparations include the active principle, so use the fresh plant if possible. If you have to buy it as an extract, make sure it's standardized for silymarin content.

No. Milk Thistle can not repair a damaged liver. Still, unless you have Hepatitis B, C, or Cancer, and are willing to cut out alcohol, and are willing to start eating mainly vegetables and get exercise, you should be in good shape before long. Your liver can heal itself. It dislikes excess fat, excess iron, and excess copper. And while it is healing, it can not stand alcohol. Exercise is good for it. Now get moving.
