Can I take Lions mane and Royal sun together?

Why this happens

Both fungi contain compounds that may interfere with blood clotting (anti-platelet activity) and improve insulin sensitivity. When combined, these effects can be additive, meaning they reinforce each other.

This combination is usually fine for healthy individuals, but you should use caution if you are already taking blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or warfarin) or diabetes medication. Monitor your blood sugar levels if you are diabetic, and watch for signs of easy bruising or prolonged bleeding from small cuts. If you have a scheduled surgery, stop taking both supplements at least two times weeks beforehand.
