I don't take chlorella, but just came across this info. Anyone taking coumadin or any blood thinner should not take this because it is high in Vitamin K which acts as a coagulant.

Tracy,

I remembered that you have a blood clotting problem and thought I should post this in case you are still taking chlorella,

....actually I think vit K counteracts the effect of blood thinners....

Charlie,

You are so right. I just changed the info. So much for my neuro symptoms getting better. [bonk]

I hope I got it right now.

If not, please feel free to correct,

Thanks,

Gael

Thank you so much for thinking of me!!! I did not know that....but I am no longer on blood thinners. The hematologist had ruled me out for any clotting disorder so I no longer take them, and at last check, both my blood clots were gone!

That was very nice of you to post this. For anyone who IS on blood thinners, they also interact with Cranberries....I remember wanting Cranberry juice in the hospital!
