Ginkgo Biloba and Serrapeptase, a caution.
Ginkgo inhibits platelet-activating factor and serrapeptase is fibrinolytic, so combining them can additively impair hemostasis and increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.

Caution
What is happening. Ginkgo inhibits platelet-activating factor and serrapeptase is fibrinolytic, so combining them can additively impair hemostasis and increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
Mechanism. Ginkgo terpenoids (ginkgolides) antagonize platelet-activating factor and reduce platelet aggregation, while serrapeptase breaks down fibrin and has reported antithrombotic effects, producing an additive reduction in clotting capacity.
Recommendation. Combine cautiously and monitor for bleeding signs. Avoid the combination with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs unless supervised, and stop both at least 7 to 10 days before surgery.
