hello user,
As per Beneflex official website, the capsule contains
1. Hyaluronic Acid 90%------>5 mg
2. UC-II® (providing 10mg undenatured type II collagen from chicken cartilage)-------->40 mg
3. AprèsFlex® - Boswellia Serrata Extract ------>100 mg
4. Turmeric Extract 25:1 (standardized to 95% curcuminoids)-------->200 mg
The 1 and 2 are joints and bones base matrix material and 3 & 4 are natural herbs (mostly used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine) 3rd is Boswellia serrata is Indian frankincense or Salai referred to in Sanskrit as shallaki ,extracts of it have been clinically studied for osteoarthritis and joint function.
4th one is turmeric which has anti-inflammatory properties.
I dont think it will be harmful to you rather it might be helpful in bone mineral and matrix reduction, which is side effect of warfarin.
hope my info helped you
