Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concern.

Joint instaflex contain following ingredients
-glucosamine sulfate
-methylsulfonlylmethane
-white willow bark extract
-ginger root concentrate
-boswellia serrata extract
-turmeric root extract
-hyaluronic acid
-cayenne

Xarelto is unlikely to interact with joint support instaflex. The content willow bark has aspirin like effect. So when taken with xarelto it may cause bleeding tendency like gum bleeding or rectal bleeding. So it is adviced to concult doctor immediately if bleeding episode occurs.

The ginger and turmeric root extracts won't interact with xarelto . These reduce inflammation. All the ingredients are extracted from plants or fruits so don't have adverse reactions. So no need to worry.

For heart problem patients I advice intake of xarelto under regular supervision of doctor.

Please clarify the sentence "but now have bone to bone knees" which you have mentioned in the last if you have any knee joint problem.

Hope I have answered your query.

Brief Answer:
avoid almond milk if hypothyroid

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

For bone to bone knees instaflex will help. The contents like glucosamine sulfate and hyluronic acid helps in development of new cartilage inbetween joint.

Almond milk lowers thyroid level in blood by inhibiting iodine. So almond milk is not recommended in people with low thyroid level.

As your 2 follow ups are over by now, for further queries you need to pay.

Hope I have answered your query . If no further queries are there then you can close the discussion and rate the response.
