Can You Take Cat's Claw and Lumbrokinase Together?

Use extra care with this pair

The short answer

Cat's Claw has antiplatelet or blood-thinning properties, while Lumbrokinase breaks down fibrin clots. Taking both may amplify blood-thinning effects through different mechanisms.

How to arrange timing

Research suggests combining fibrinolytic enzymes like Lumbrokinase with other blood-thinning supplements like Cat's Claw may increase bleeding risk. Consider consulting a healthcare provider before stacking.
