Many agents in foods and herbs can help “thin” the blood, which means decreased tendency to coagulate. If taken in excess or certain combinations (especially with certain pharmaceuticals, excessive bleeding can occur, which can be as serious as having blood that is too thick.
Here is a list of natural and semi-natural (derived from nature) agents that can affect coagulation. The effect on an individual can vary due to numerous factors, which is why their use should be monitored by a knowledgable practitioner.

Choline's Roles
- Component of cell membranes, affects signaling and membrane-bound receptors
- Methyl donor, esp with folate deficiency
- Lipid transport
- Brain development, protection, and recovery possibly including Alzheimer’s dementia
- Needed to produce neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
- Has a role in cardiovascular and peripheral artery disease, neurological disorders and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Choline Factoids
Essential nutrient, liver cannot manufacture the full daily requirement
Most people in the US, including 90-95% of pregnant women (according to the NIH), consume less than the optimal intake.
Supplemental forms include choline bitartrate, choline citrate (liquid), phosphatidylcholine and lecithin.
Choline deficiency can cause muscle damage, liver damage and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Low levels of certain B vitamins can increase choline requirements, and overlaps with fplat and other B vitamins.
See above for choline’s roles
While choline cannot be tested directly using conventional labs, another biomarker called TMAO, is measurable and involved in choline processing.
While high TMAO is undesirable and correlates with cardiovascular and kidney disease, the literature is sparse on low TMAO, which probably reflects choline deficiency.

Nicotinamide riboside, NR
Food & Supplements Program
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a derivative of Niacin. Whether it has better or different benefits compared to niacin itself is unclear. It is clearly a more expensive product, with more profit for its sellers.
