Does Tumeric inhibit of interfere with vitamin K?
Posted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:39 am
I am interested in the Pauling therapy for heart and in looking over their recommendations concerning blood thinning meds specifically they mention coumadin (warfarin sodium) may interfere with vitamin K or any of Paulings therapy.
my question is does Tumeric interfere with the benefits of Vitamin K? I was taking tumeric as a cleansing herb and may just stop but would like to continue if there is no evidence or understanding of properties that would inhibit K.
And yes I am working with physicians too, I have a possible valve leak, going to look at it in about a week by cardiologist, not an emergency according to GP. Odd though, fit, trim, exercise regularly, last year no problem s, this year, murmur, stress the killer doc told me, lay off it.
Thank you
Scott
Unknown but someone at our forum may know more about tumeric.
(It has been reported at our forum that vitamin K2 does not interfere with these drugs, and is quite necessary for heart patients.) The idea would be to get off the drugs.
And you didn't mention your vitamin C intake??
