Can You Take Borage Oil and Fish Oil (Omega-3) Together?

Use extra care with this pair

The short answer

Borage Oil provides GLA (omega-6) with antiplatelet properties, while Fish Oil provides EPA/DHA (omega-3) which also inhibit platelet aggregation. Stacking both amplifies blood-thinning effects via different fatty acid pathways.

How to arrange timing

Monitor for signs of increased bleeding when combining Borage Oil with Fish Oil. Watch for easy bruising or prolonged bleeding from cuts.
