Caution
What is happening. Bromelain has mild antiplatelet and fibrinolytic activity that can add to ginkgo's platelet-inhibiting effect, modestly increasing bleeding risk.
Mechanism. Ginkgo inhibits platelet-activating factor and aggregation, while bromelain reduces platelet aggregation and promotes fibrinolysis by influencing plasminogen and fibrinogen, so the antiplatelet effects are additive.
Recommendation. Generally safe at normal doses, but use caution if combining with blood thinners or before surgery. Discontinue both ahead of dental or surgical procedures.
