Puis-je prendre de l'ail noir et de la vitamine C ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Black garlic and vitamin C work through different pathways in the body and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, broken down, or used. Black garlic is aged white garlic that contains high levels of S-allyl cysteine, while vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin. They do not compete for the same enzymes or transport systems.

It is generally safe to take these two supplements together. However, always stick to the recommended dosages on the packaging. If you are scheduled for surgery, you should inform your doctor about the black garlic, as garlic supplements can sometimes thin the blood.

Surgery or dental procedures

Black garlic can significantly thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding. You must stop taking it at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery or dental work.

Bleeding disorders or use of blood-thinning medication (e.g. warfarin)

Black garlic may increase the effect of blood-thinning medicines, making you more likely to bleed or bruise easily.

Kidney stones (oxalate)

High doses of Vitamin C can increase the amount of oxalate in your urine, significantly raising the risk of developing kidney stones, especially if you have had them before.

Alcool

Black garlic may have a mild blood-thinning effect. While there is no direct contraindication, excessive alcohol consumption can also thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. Use alcohol in moderation.
