Would anyone give their opinion on this? I was just reading up on Goji Juice since my Wife has been taking it and she asked me to give it a try. While reading, I came upon this:
"Caution: Every indication is that goji is safe to drink in moderation. However, there is one exception to that rule. Like some other natural products, it may have anti-coagulant activity. While this is generally desirable, it could lead to a dangerous situation for anyone who is taking the prescription medication Warfarin (coumadin). One should therefore be careful about taking the two together, as this could lead to dangerous episodes of bleeding (Lam 2001)."
- Lam AY, Elmer GW, Mohutsky MA. Possible interaction between warfarin and Lycium barbarum L. Ann Pharmacother. 2001;35:1199-201.
That being said - would drinking enough Goji juice be a good thing for one who has a high level of Hemotocrit?
