The only issue is that if your on blood thinners, Vitamin C will interfear with the blood thinners -- meaning you might need more blood thinners to get the same effect.

However, Vitamin C will also start to heal the reason for why you need the blood thinners in the first place.

So is that drug a blood thinner? If it is, I'd maybe try to find an actual doctor that familiar with orthomolecular medicine so they can kind of monitor things while you're on it.

Clopigogrel is an anti platelet medicine used to prevent blood from clotting. I will look for a ortomolecular doctor in my area in south africa

I am also having the following product manufactured in south africa :
Product name-cholesterolease and each sachet conatins :
Vitamin a - 2.27mg
Vitamin b6 - 50mg
Vitamin c as ascobic acid - 3000mg
Vitamin e (50 percent) - 282mg
L arginine - 200 mg
L lysine - 3000mg
L proline - 500 mg
Folic acid - 400 ug

I currently am having 2 sachets a day plus a further 12 grams of buffered vitamin c power. We do have a big range of vitamin c products to choose from in south africa.

Ideally I will love to get ascorbate9 or cardio c.

Any help will be much obliged.

I would like Owen and Johnwen to comment

Tks

First on the skyorbit's comment that vitamin C "interferes with blood thinners." Reference?

Here is johnwens answer http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10548&p=30974&hilit=vitamin+C+blood+thinners#p30974



So I question the initial comment that vitamin C will interfere with blood thinners. (Somewhere we posted Dr. Levy's comment. Might have a more cautious opinion. If anyone can find it, let me know.)

Mr Fonorow,

I meant to that in south africa in my area we do not have a large range of vitamin c to choose from however. We do have a person in south africa who sells livon lab products. Livon labs put me into contact with this Person and I then ordered 30 sachets of lypo c and 30 sachets Of lipo glutathione and wanted to know if the lyPo products will interfere with the clopidogrel that the cardiologist prescribed me. You Have answered this question Above thank you.

Please advisE if the livon lypo products will benefit me.
I also think this post is in the wrong forum. Apologies for that.
Thank you

"Special Notes: Vitamin C in any form can lessen the blood-thinning effects of Coumadin or Warfarin, resulting in a less prolonged prothrombin time. LivOn Labs urges anybody on either of these medications to supplement vitamin C and any other antioxidants under the guidance of their physicians only, so that the desired prolongation of prothrombin time can be achieved over time. Generally, most individuals on such medications can successfully take desirable amounts of vitamin C, but the amount of their Coumadin or Warfarin typically needs to be increased slightly, with initially more frequent checking of the prothrombin time by their physicians to assure the desirable degree of anticoagulation is achieved and maintained."

Again, I'm finding it strange that the moderator of the forum is asking for "proof" and references for basic things. I would think that you'd at least already know about these claims even if you disagree with them.

My personal feeling is that this risk is lessened with LyPo C. Much of the Vitamin C from LypoSomes goes directly into the cells, so it's not in the blood-stream to cause the above mentioned interference. But some of it is.

Tracy

Thank you Owen. Looks like what Dr levy said is exactly what LiVon Labs says though. You might have to increase your dosage of the Blood Thinner a bit to achieve the same results.

Sorry, I guess I just expected you to know what I was referring to.

Looks like Livon Labs has taken his suggestions because it doesn't say don't take it anymore.

Tracy

Take MMS or Parthenolide you won't need to take blood thinners.

hi Edoc,

what is MMS

please also advise if i can suppliment omega 3 fish oil with anti platelet medication
