Short answer

We found no documented interaction between Ginger and Omega-3 in the sources below. That isn't proof the combination is right for you: check each one's cautions, and ask your pharmacist if you take medication.

Ginger

What it is: A root used in food and traditional medicine, mainly for nausea and digestion.

What the research says: Ginger may help nausea in pregnancy and menstrual cramps. Most studies found it doesn't help motion sickness.

Cautions

  • Used safely in many studies; it can cause heartburn, stomach discomfort or diarrhea.

Medicines to check

  • Talk to your clinician if you take any medicine

Omega-3 (fish oil)

What it is: Fats (EPA and DHA) found in fish that are part of every cell membrane and matter for the heart, brain and eyes.

What the research says: EPA and DHA lower triglycerides. Heart experts recommend eating fish; they don't recommend omega-3 supplements for people at low heart risk.

Cautions

  • The FDA advises no more than 5 g a day of EPA plus DHA from supplements.
  • Side effects are usually mild: fishy taste, heartburn, nausea, loose stools.

Medicines to check

  • Warfarin and other blood thinners: high doses may raise bleeding risk
