Ya its pretty good stuff.  Just make sure it has a decent amount of Silymarin in it, around 70-80%.  Its not too expensive and good for cleansing the liver if you are drinking, taking medications, or OTC drugs such as acetaminophen.

I use Vitamin Shoppe's brand - 300mg at 80% Silymarin - 100 caps for $18 (that's 100 days worth).  I've just gotten into the habit of taking one daily with my multivitamin at breakfast.  If I'm really hungover, I might take two.
