Also called: Broken bone. A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones.
Milk Thistle Side Effects. Milk thistle is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with very few cases of side effects ever reported. The most common side effects arenât serious and include gastrointestinal upset, such as a mild laxative effect.
Silymarin also acts as an antioxidant, which may explain how milk thistle works for several different conditions, including diabetes. Because oxidative stress may damage the pancreas in people with diabetes, compounds with antioxidant activity may preserve the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin.
