Minimal
Side Effects

There are two potential side effects in the literature which in some cases could be considered a benefit. One is the minimal decrease in blood sugar. Therefore a diabetic patient should certainly consult their doctor. The other is a mild thinning of the blood similar to aspirin. Patients already on a blood thinner should consult with their doctor.
