A member asked:

Can taking fish oil and acetyl l-carnitine arginate with alpha lipoic acid thin the blood too much?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be: Why are you taking these supplements? Were these prescribed by a doctor? If you take a mixed diet, exercise and maintain a normal weight, you do not need these supplements. Any medication can have ill effects and un-needed medications are not doing you any good.
