Can I Take Turmeric Whilst on Blood Thinners?

Edited

Whilst turmeric is widely known for it's abundance of health benefits, the active compound within turmeric called "curcumin" has blood thinning properties which can enhance the effects of your prescribed blood thinner.

We would either advise that you take them separately, i.e. medication in the morning and turmeric in the evening. However, if you are new to supplements then we would encourage you to discuss this with your GP.
