Common Supplement Interactions
Some supplements can interact with each other or with medications, affecting their effectiveness or causing side effects. Here are a few examples:
- Calcium & Iron: Taking these together can reduce absorption of both.
- Vitamin K & Blood Thinners: Vitamin K can decrease the effectiveness of certain anticoagulants.
- St. John's Wort: Can interact with antidepressants, birth control, and other medications.
Always check with your healthcare provider before combining supplements or taking them with medications.
