I'm trying to verify and get a better understanding about these diet supplements. Wikipedia which says:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_bleed#Causes
"Some people who have frequent nosebleed problems, the cause could be the effect of vitamin overdose especially vitamin C .......
Cultures with a diet rich in fish sources that include high levels of omega-3 fatty acids (especially the Inuit) have also been observed to experience a higher incidence of nosebleeds. Athletes and bodybuilders who supplement their diets with fish oil also report increased frequency of nosebleeds."

Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid is an acid which has some anti-coagulant properties, or it makes the consistency of blood thinner , thus it is attributed to cause nosebleeds in certain patients who may be sensitive to this drug. As for omega-3 fatty acids I would say the same property as cited for Vitamin C and normally fatty acids do react in our systems badly especially if we take them on an empty stomach. Same case for Vitamin C.

Wikipedia is wrong! Vitamin C and Omega Fatty Acids do not cause nosebleeds. The most typical reasons for nosebleeds are:
1) Dry air which causes the mucus to harden.
Bleeding follows when nose is picked.
2) High blood pressure
3) Injuries
4) Allergies
5) Drugs that are snorted

Actually, I have found, IN MYSELF, a STRONG correlation between nosebleeds and LACK of vitamin C. During the winter, when I'm eating less fruit and the air is dry, my nostrils can get very raw and bloody, when I blow my nose in particular. This is controlled very easily, and surprisingly quickly, after I take large doses of C!

I don't have a good answer. I do take both as supplements. But have never had a nose bleed.

I thought it was because they thin out the tissues in your nose. which causes easy bleeding.
