Can I take Black garlic and Devil's claw together?

Perché succede

Both black garlic and devil's claw have 'antiplatelet' effects. This means they make the tiny cells in your blood (platelets) less sticky, which makes it harder for your blood to form clots. When used together, these effects can add up.

Use this combination with caution. If you notice unusual bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding gums, stop taking them and speak to your doctor. You should stop taking both supplements at least two weeks before any planned surgery or dental work. If you are already taking prescribed blood-thinning medications (like warfarin or aspirin), do not take these supplements without medical advice.

Surgery or bleeding disorders

Both medicines can thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding. You must stop taking them at least 2 weeks before any planned surgery or dental procedure.

Stomach ulcers or gallstones

Devil's claw increases stomach acid and bile production. Do not use it if you have stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, or gallstones, as it can severely worsen these conditions.

Diabetes medication

Devil's claw can lower blood sugar levels. If you take insulin or other diabetes medicines, you must monitor your blood sugar closely as your dose may need adjustment to prevent hypoglycaemia.

Alcol

Black garlic may have a mild blood-thinning effect. While there is no direct contraindication, excessive alcohol consumption can also thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. Use alcohol in moderation.
