Hi everyone, thanks for having me. I picked up an assortment of supplements today at Holland And Barrett, and wanted to get some confirmation from any authority on what I should use and shouldn't with which one. I have the following:

-Turmeric

-St. John's Wort

-Cod Liver Oil

-Ginko Biloba

I take no other medications. I would like to know if there are any of these supplements that are recommended not to combine. Any guidance is very much appreciated!

    Why do you think you need these supplements? Have you thought that you may just be boosting the suppliers coffers? A well balanced diet should be fine unless you are found to have a deficiency such as vitamin D for example.

    Perhaps see a nature path.  It's where I received 'tailer fit' recommendations from.

    Hi Bennn,

    According to the interactions section in NatureClaim, you should not take St. John's Wort with Ginkgo. After searching around, it seems that St. John's Wort interacts with many medicines, but I am unsure if it interacts with Cod Liver Oil and Turmeric.
