Can I take Chaga and Royal sun together?

Why this happens

These mushrooms have additive effects. Both contain compounds (like beta-glucans) that improve insulin sensitivity and others that may interfere with blood clotting (anti-platelet effects). Taking them together doubles up on these specific actions.

What you should do

Use this combination with caution. If you have diabetes or take blood-thinning medication (like warfarin or aspirin), you must speak to your doctor before combining these supplements. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely and watch for signs of easy bruising or nosebleeds. Stop taking both at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery.
