Both Lion's Mane and Reishi mushrooms have natural blood-thinning properties. Taking them together might increase the risk of bruising or bleeding, especially if you are already taking blood-thinning medication or have an upcoming surgery. Additionally, both may lower blood sugar levels, which could lead to feeling dizzy or shaky if levels drop too low.

Why this happens
Both supplements can slow down blood clotting (antiplatelet effect) and improve how the body uses insulin (hypoglycaemic effect). When used together, these effects can add up, making them stronger than when taken alone.
What you should do
For most healthy people, this combination is usually fine in standard doses. However, you should stop taking both at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery. If you take medication for diabetes or blood pressure, or if you take blood thinners (like warfarin or aspirin), speak to your doctor before combining these supplements. Monitor yourself for signs of low blood sugar or unusual bruising.

Traitement et médicaments
Can I take Aspirin and Nustendi together?
Taking aspirin with Nustendi (which contains bempedoic acid and ezetimibe) may slightly increase the levels of bempedoic acid in your blood. Additionally, if you are taking high doses of aspirin (over 325mg daily), there is a theoretical risk that it could interfere with how bempedoic acid works to lower your cholesterol.

Traitement et médicaments
Can I take Amytriptaline and Nustendi together?
There is no known direct interaction between amitriptyline and Nustendi (bempedoic acid and ezetimibe). However, amitriptyline can sometimes cause side effects like muscle pain or weakness, which are also rare side effects of the ingredients in Nustendi. Taking them together might slightly increase the risk of these symptoms being noticed.
