Can You Take Ginkgo Biloba and Wobenzym Together?

Use extra care with this pair

The short answer

Wobenzym contains proteolytic enzymes with fibrinolytic activity, while Ginkgo Biloba inhibits platelet-activating factor (PAF). Combining them may produce an additive anticoagulant effect and increase bleeding risk.

How to arrange timing

Use caution when combining Wobenzym with Ginkgo Biloba. Monitor for signs of excessive bleeding.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
