Irritability-


Associated with PMS (see PMS) and excess stress (see stress). May also be a side effect of some medications including birth control pills and antidepressants. Irritability can be a symptom of low blood sugar- often an increase of protein and more frequent meals will help to relieve this. Irritability may relate to poor liver function- if your liver is not processing toxins well, then they can cause symptoms including irritability.

Milk Thistle- the seed has been shown to be very helpful in improving liver function. 
Dosage- Standardized extract (70-80% silymarin)- 100-200 mg three times a day.
