Can I take Chaga and Turkey tail together?

Why this happens

Both chaga and turkey tail have 'antiplatelet' effects, meaning they make the blood less sticky and slower to clot. They also both possess hypoglycaemic properties, which means they can lower blood glucose levels. Taking them together creates an additive effect where these actions are strengthened.

What you should do

It is generally safe for most healthy people to take these together, but you should use caution. If you are scheduled for surgery, stop taking both at least two weeks beforehand. If you have diabetes or take blood-thinning medication (like warfarin or aspirin), you must speak to your doctor before combining these supplements. Monitor yourself for signs of easy bruising or unusual bleeding.
