Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Milk Thistle Extract 200 mg. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. Lecithin has Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status in the US (2619,105544). ...when used orally and appropriately in medicinal amounts. Lecithin has been used safely in doses of up to 30 grams daily for up to 6 weeks (5140,5149,5152,5156,14817,14822,14838,19212). ...when used topically (4914).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in food amounts.
Lecithin has Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status in the US (105544). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of medicinal amounts of lecithin during pregnancy or lactation; avoid using.
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of lipase.
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when recombinant human bile salt-stimulated lipase (rhBSSL) is used orally by premature infants.
Adding rhBSSL to infant formula or pasteurized breast milk increases the risk for serious gastrointestinal adverse effects in premature infants (101940).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.

General
...Orally, lecithin is well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, fullness, and nausea.
Dermatologic ...Orally, lecithin can cause allergic skin reactions in people with egg or soy allergies (15705).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, lecithin may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, fullness, and nausea (5140,6243,14817,14822,14838,19204,59281).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, lecithin caused CNS complaints and agitation in one patient in a clinical trial (59261).
General
...No adverse effects have been reported in adults.
However, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Gastrointestinal adverse effects, such as necrotizing enterocolitis, when recombinant human bile salt-stimulated lipase is used in premature infants.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, when added to the formula or pasteurized breast milk consumed by premature infants, recombinant human bile salt-stimulated lipase (rhBSSL) can cause gastrointestinal adverse effects, including abdominal distension, flatulence, constipation, colic, abdominal pain, gastroenteritis, vomiting, regurgitation, and rectal bleeding (101940). Premature infants receiving rhBSSL also had a slightly higher rate of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) when compared with those receiving placebo. After review by a panel of experts, it was determined that the rate of confirmed or suspected NEC in infants consuming rhBSSL was 3.3%, compared with 0.5% in those receiving placebo. Although this rate of NEC is lower than the historical rate of occurrence in premature infants (11%), a possible increased risk for NEC cannot be ruled out (101940).
