Caution
What is happening. Both ingredients have antiplatelet activity, so combining them may add to bleeding risk, particularly alongside blood-thinning medication or before surgery.
Mechanism. Ginger gingerols inhibit thromboxane synthesis and platelet aggregation, while bromelain reduces platelet aggregation and has fibrinolytic activity, producing potentially additive effects on hemostasis.
Recommendation. Use with caution if on anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, watch for bruising or bleeding, and stop both at least one to two weeks before any planned surgery.
