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?

well i havent asked my doc yet , i went to chinese herb place since i was feeling tired and lathargic . they advised me to take the capsules so i can feel more energetic. i am on 10 mg of warafin with monthly INR checkups.

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