Bortez, before taking any OTC supplements, please talk with your physician to ensure it doesn’t cause issues with your prescribed medications..David

Lycopene is a very good antioxidant found in tomatoes

I have never read anything about lycopene thinning the blood. It is an excellent supplement with little or no side effects. It is particularly effective according to research in helping prevent prostate cancer. I would not think that you would have any worries about taking this.

Well, if you google ' is Lycopene a blood thinner'it states it is & therefore should not be taken with aspirin...
