If I powder them for capsules how many mg do you put in a capsule? Or do you just fill them? thanks 🙂 July 17, 2023 at 8:56 AM #40344 Dr. Patrick JonesHomestead Instructor I always grind milk thistle seed prior to medicinal use or medicine making. Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
