Garlic supplements may add to bleeding
NCCIH says garlic supplements may increase the risk of bleeding. It says this matters especially before surgery and if you take anticoagulants or aspirin. Tell the prescriber before you start a garlic pill. Food amounts of garlic are not the same as a concentrated supplement.
NIH ODS says vitamin E can inhibit platelet aggregation and oppose vitamin K-dependent clotting factors. Large doses taken with an anticoagulant or an antiplatelet medicine, such as warfarin, can increase bleeding risk, especially if vitamin K intake is low. The fact sheet says the supplemental amount needed for a clinically important effect is unknown, but it is probably more than 400 IU a day. Do not start a high dose on your own.
