Can I take Cod liver oil and Red vine leaf extract together?

Why this happens

Cod liver oil contains omega-3 fatty acids which have a mild anti-platelet effect (making blood cells less sticky). Red vine leaf extract contains flavonoids that can also affect blood flow and clotting. When combined, these effects can add up.

This combination is generally considered safe for most healthy people, but you should use caution. Watch out for signs of easy bruising, nosebleeds, or bleeding gums when brushing your teeth. If you are scheduled for surgery or are already taking prescribed blood-thinning medications (like warfarin or aspirin), speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking these supplements together.
