🌿
Turmeric / Ginger (anti-inflammatory)
Culinary amounts of turmeric and ginger are generally safe. However, if you take blood thinners (warfarin, Eliquis, Xarelto) or antiplatelet drugs (clopidogrel, aspirin), large amounts may add mild blood-thinning effects. Keep portions moderate.
Medications that may be affected:
Warfarin (Coumadin)Apixaban (Eliquis)Rivaroxaban (Xarelto)Clopidogrel (Plavix)Aspirin (low-dose)
💚 Relevant supplement considerations
💊
Boswellia (Frankincense Extract)
Looking for anti-inflammatory support without blood-thinning concerns? Boswellia is a well-studied alternative that's gentler on anticoagulation.

🥬
Leafy Greens (Vitamin K-rich)
Leafy greens are rich in Vitamin K, which helps blood clot. If you take warfarin (Coumadin), consistency is key — sudden large changes in leafy green intake can shift your INR and affect your dosage.
Medications that may be affected:
Warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven)
💚 Relevant supplement considerations
💊
Vitamin K2 (MK-7 form)
If you're on warfarin, some cardiologists recommend low-dose consistent K2 to support bone health without large INR swings. Discuss with your doctor first.
