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.
Other early research suggests that taking silymarin three times daily reduces insulin resistance in people with diabetes and liver disease caused by alcoholism. But talking silybin, another chemical found in milk thistle, daily for 4 weeks does not seem to affect blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
