Interaction Warning
If you are taking blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin, or other anticoagulants), do NOT start omega-3, turmeric/curcumin, or glucosamine without consulting your doctor first. These supplements have antiplatelet or anticoagulant properties and may increase bleeding risk. Your GP may need to monitor your INR (International Normalised Ratio) more closely or adjust your medication dose. If you're on blood pressure medications, inform your doctor before starting omega-3, as it may have mild additional blood pressure-lowering effects.
Omega-3 is the strongest evidence-backed option for joint pain.
