Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are no known interactions between warfarin and these vitamins and alpha lipoic acid.
Alpha lipoic is an anti oxidant and does not interfere with warfarin's mechanism of action or metabolism.

The vitamin that interacts with warfarin and can cause significant problems is vitamin k.
Vitamin b12 and vitamin b1 are fine and are not known to cause any problems.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
