And liver protection too right?
wow.. i never saw that one!

Milk Thistle increased milk production by 85.94% in this study below. Btw, blessed thistle may increase stomach acid, be careful there.
Clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of BIO-C (micronized Silymarin) as a galactagogue

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE WORK:
The authors have previously reported the use of Silymarin (a Silybum marianum standardized extract) as a promoter of milk production in cows. Due to the important psychological impact of hypogalactia in women after delivery, we evaluated the role of Silymarin as a safe and effective galactogogue for human species.
METHODS:
50 healthy women during lactation were enrolled in order to verify the galactogogue role played by an oral treatment with micronized Silymarin (420 mg/day) in comparison with an undistinguishable placebo product.
RESULTS:
Women orally treated for 63 days with Silymarin showed a clear galactagogue role for the product with an increase of 85.94% of the daily milk production (placebo: +32.09%). No drop out, nor unwanted effects were reported in both groups. Compliance and tolerability were also very good.
CONCLUSIONS:
Silymarin may be considered as a safe and effective herbal product that can be orally administered in order to improve the daily milk production in healthy women after delivery, without affecting milk quality.

Quote:Both linoleate and arachidonate can activate Type-II and Type-III protein kinase-C in MECtranslation—linoleate (i.e. evening primrose oil) and arachidonate (i.e. peanut oil) improves cellular affinity of mammary epithelial.....aka milk duds, I mean milk ducts. though do add calcium with this combination, it activates the proteins.

What is epidermal growth factor?
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB-1; HER1 in humans) is the cell-surface receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family (EGF family) of extracellular protein ligands.

transducers: amplification of signals from growth factor receptors by fatty acids in mammary epithelial cells.
Abstract
The growth, morphogenesis and differentiation of milk producing epithelial tissues in the developing mammary glands require interaction with extracellular matrices and stimulation by hormones, growth factors and essential fatty acids. In primary culture, the proliferation of mammary epithelial cells (MEC), induced by epidermal growth factor (EGF), is enhanced and sustained by linoleate and its eicosanoid metabolites. Since a combination of linoleic acid (18:2 omega 6) and prostaglandin E2 or cAMP has synergistic effect on EGF-stimulated growth, it is suggested that additional cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PK-A) independent pathways may also contribute to the linoleate effect on EGF action. Possible involvement of Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C (PK-C) is explored. Both linoleate and arachidonate can activate Type-II and Type-III protein kinase-C in MEC and a PK-C inhibitor can block growth stimulation by EGF and fatty acids. Like 12-O-Tetradecanoly phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a PK-C activator which also enhances EGF-stimulated growth of MEC, linoleate can phosphorylate a 40-42 KD protein. EGF itself can stimulate transient phosphorylation of the same protein in MEC cultures but when supplemented with linoleate, which does not influence the ligand binding affinity of EGF-receptors, the transient phosphorylation signal in 40-42 KD protein is sustained.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

So would this help me and my project?

Or do we add the oil externally? And then you also mention calcium.. do we just drink milk or do we need lots of it? And then the last question when exactly do we take this? Daily or whenever you like? Or cycled? Or before sleep? Thanks again,you're awesome at this stuff!
