6mp and milk thistle

Ive heard that milk thistle helps reduce the effect of 6mp on the liver...
We bought some today for 13 year old with elevated ast and alt......but then we saw that it may have an estrogenic effect....
Two questions:
1- Does anyone know the preferred form of milk thistle? We bought a freeze dried form with 600 mg. per capsule as opposed to a 200 mg with fillers.

2- Does anyone have knowledge regarding giving this to a child when we are trying to encourage puberty? How real is this alleged estrogenic effect?

I will also post this in parents with IBD.
Thanks
Don
