Milk Thistle = estrogen-like effects

[charles881]

Estrogen was reported to have some estrogen-like effects. Does any one know if the estrogen effects are a strong one?

This is where I saw the info:

"Milk thistle has some estrogen-like effects that may stimulate the flow of breast milk in women who are breast-feeding infants. It may also be used to start late menstrual periods. Milk thistle's estrogen-like effect may also have some usefulness for men with prostate cancer."
