Hello
I would be pleased to answer your question .
Evening primrose oil is known in some documents to be a blood thinner. However , it is safe in G6PD deficient. It works via the platelet aggregation and hence causes blood thinning and is not related to the G 6 PD pathway .
Red raspberry leaves and vitex are safe too.

So you can take the above supplements.

Thanks and Take care
