Do supplements have blood thinning effects?

Q: Can I get too much of a blood thinning effect using supplements? I have been taking fish oil and garlic for years. Can I add Salba safely? I like the blood sugar lowering benefits of Salba.

A: The combination of fish oil and garlic is an effective and safe blood thinner. If you are taking prescription blood thinners, your physician should be aware and may adjust the dosage of your medication. Salba has blood sugar balancing properties and is a safe add-on to your supplements.
