Fish oil and ginkgo biloba

Fish oil and ginkgo biloba? Not together, if you want to make the most of each of their benefits. According to Jacek Szymanowski, a Precision Nutrition-certified nutritionist and health coach, taking these two supplements at the same time can have consequences on blood clotting.

“Combining these can increase the risk of bleeding due to their blood-thinning effects. Both supplements have anticoagulant properties, which can synergistically increase bleeding risk, especially in high doses or with other blood thinners,” says Szymanowski.

  1. According to this article taking Zinc and Copper together is not good?
    This is Not true, for zinc to be sufficiently absorbed some copper is needed in the right proportions.
    For example my bottle of zinc has this mixture:
    15 mg of zinc AND 2 mg of copper per capsule.
