Can I take Ginger and Vitamin c together?

Why this happens

Ginger and vitamin C work through different pathways in the body and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, broken down, or used. Ginger is primarily used for its anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties, while vitamin C is an antioxidant used for tissue repair and immune function.

What you should do

It is safe to take ginger and vitamin C together. However, if you have a history of kidney stones or are taking blood-thinning medication (like warfarin), you should speak to your doctor before taking high doses of any supplements.
