Milk thistle ->

• Causes: Iron-deficiency anemia (Modality: could; Condition: wrong patient)
• Decreases: Iron storage, Manganese storage (Amount: higher; Timing: in time)
• Helps: Hemochromatosis (Benefit: advantage; Mechanism: decreased iron stores)
• Normalizes: Iron level (Frequency: regular; Condition: hemochromatosis; Matching: individual; Degree: closer to normal)
• Provide: Tin (Rank: 4; Order: highest to lowest)
• Recommended For: Adults (Scope: all individuals)
