    Hi Ray cordyceps slows blood clotting so if you are already on a blood thinner it's possible you blood could become too thin causing an internal hemorrhage. What has your doctor advised you?

      Oh! Did the Chineses herb place ask about current medication? Suspect not...I suggest you always ask your GP before taking alternative medicine remedies!
