Interaction Warning
If you're taking blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin, or other anticoagulants), do not start omega-3 or curcumin without consulting your doctor β both have antiplatelet properties and may increase bleeding risk. Glucosamine may also interact with warfarin; monitor INR closely if combining. If you're on blood pressure medications, fish oil may enhance their effect β your GP should be aware.
Omega-3 is the strongest evidence-backed option for joint pain.
