Hi Everyone,

I am a new member. Can anyone tell me if I can take flax seed, grape seed extract and citrus bioflavanoids with coumadin without any interactions? I am on coumadin due to a dvt caused by taking birth control pills over the age of 45 a couple of years ago. Thanks for your help.

hi bomber, welcome to the free nutrition board. coumadin is a type of anticoagulant which act by inhibiting Vitamin K activity. generally people taking coumadin are advised to avoid EXCESSIVE intake of Vit-K and Vit-C foods as well as moderate alcohol consumption. If you are eating ~5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily - that is not excessive at all however be sure to check your multivit supplements as well other supplements you are currently taking. The best person to talk to regarding drug-supplement interactions is your pharmacist!!

hope it helps!
