The short answer

Black Garlic inhibits platelet aggregation via organosulfur compounds, while Ginger Extract inhibits thromboxane synthase, reducing platelet aggregation. Taking both may amplify blood-thinning effects through different mechanisms.

How to arrange timing

Both Black Garlic and Ginger Extract may affect blood clotting through different pathways. Consider monitoring for signs of increased bleeding (easy bruising, prolonged cuts) when taking both supplements together.
