Beware of eating this type of berry with blood thinners!
Doctors warn against eating a certain type of berry with blood thinners, due to its role in spoiling the role of the drugs in treating blood thinners.
The Consumer Advice Center in the German state of Bavaria warned against eating Goji Berry with blood thinners, as it can cause serious drug interactions.
Decomposition of some drugs
The center explained that Goji Berry can prevent the decomposition of some blood thinners, so-called vitamin K antagonists, which leads to the accumulation of active substances in the body, and thus increases the tendency to bleed.
Vitamins and Minerals
On the other hand, Goji Berry has many health benefits, as it is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, iron and calcium, and is also rich in carotenoids and dietary fiber.
Eat Berries in Moderation
However, goji berries should be eaten in moderation, as they are high in sugar, at 46%, and this is due to the fact that they are mostly available as dried fruit.
