Some drugs' side effects are due to nutrient interference.

Plavix is still rather new to have studies done on that.

However, magnesium has been looked at as a therapeutic agent to improve platelet stickiness....

and another interesting paper:

That is great you had such a quick response. If you continue, and are also using blood pressure drugs or beta blockers, you may see a decline in blood pressure...so monitor that.
