Nutritionist Highlights Risks of Supplement and Medication Mixes

Sometimes, things you take to get healthier can cause problems if taken together.

For example, mixing Omega-3 and aspirin can make your blood too thin, increasing the risk of bleeding.

Certain supplements can also stop your body from absorbing medicine properly, such as thyroid medication not being absorbed when taken with calcium or iron.

Vitamin D needs fat to be absorbed correctly.

However, some combinations can be beneficial, such as Magnesium and B6 which improve mood.

Remember, iron and zinc need to be taken separately to be fully absorbed.

It is always best to check with a doctor.
