Is Stem Care Maxum Safe To Take With Ekuquis?
Question: Sirs:
I note on the bottle of Stem Care Maxum that it says: “may cause blood thinning.” My husband is currently taking Eliquis 5mg. (2 tablets daily), and this is a blood thinner....for his A-Fib. We were taking 3 Stem Care Maxum per day but when I read this I wondered if this is safe for him to take at all? Please advise. Thank you.
