| Substance | Interaction | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Aspirin Low-Dose | Caution | Bromelain may have antiplatelet and fibrinolytic effects that could add to low-dose aspirin. Human outcome evidence for the exact combination is... |
| Fish Oil | Caution | Both have mild antiplatelet activity; combined chronic use can additively raise bleeding tendency. |
| Ginger Extract | Caution | Both ingredients have antiplatelet activity, so combining them may add to bleeding risk, particularly alongside blood-thinning medication or before... |
| Ginkgo Biloba | Caution | Bromelain has mild antiplatelet and fibrinolytic activity that can add to ginkgo's platelet-inhibiting effect, modestly increasing bleeding risk. |
| Nattokinase | Caution | Both have fibrinolytic and antiplatelet activity; combined use additively raises bleeding risk. |
| Warfarin | Caution | Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme from pineapple stem, inhibits platelet aggregation and has been shown to reduce thrombin-, ADP-, and... |
