Tiger Nut Prebiotic Powder
powder
Conditions addressed
Suggested dosage
½–1 tsp daily, mixed into water, smoothies, or food
Interactions & contraindications
May affect drug absorption
Watch for: Any oral medication taken around the same time
High-fiber or mucilage-rich herbs can slow or reduce how much of another oral drug is absorbed — space doses a couple of hours apart.
May affect blood sugar
Watch for: Insulin and oral diabetes medications (metformin, sulfonylureas)
Additive blood-sugar-lowering effects can risk hypoglycemia — monitor glucose closely.
May thin the blood
Watch for: Anticoagulants (warfarin), antiplatelets (aspirin, clopidogrel), and other blood-thinning herbs or supplements (ginkgo, garlic, fish oil, vitamin E)
Combining blood-thinning substances can increase bleeding risk, including before surgery or dental work.
