Can I take Rosehip with vit c and Turmeric with black pepper together?

Why this happens

Turmeric can slow blood clotting, and vitamin C helps maintain blood vessel integrity but can have an additive effect on bleeding risk at high doses. Regarding kidney stones, vitamin C is broken down into oxalate, and turmeric contains high levels of soluble oxalates; together, they increase the 'load' on the kidneys.

What you should do

This combination is generally safe for most healthy people at standard supplement doses. However, if you take blood-thinning medication (like warfarin or aspirin), have a scheduled surgery, or have a history of kidney stones, you should speak to your doctor before taking these together. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose on the packaging.
