A member asked:
Can you naturally increase prothrombin time?my test was repeated twice & was 10.0 but since my inr was considered normal at 0.9 my dr said not to worry. i'm healthy & 39 and the only thing i take is berberine. can that be the cause? i'm still worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BERBERINE has been suggested to actually slow clotting time so it would not be the cause of a Prothrombin Time that was slightly lower that the typical normal range. Increased intake of supplements or food that contain vitamin K can keep PT lower.
