It is helpful to read all ingredients when you buy processed foods. When in doubt either don't buy the food or research it. Seville orange e.g. is also called sour orange or Caribbean orange. I asked Mayo about turmeric, ginger and chamomile because I like Asian foods and Sleepytime tea. Mayo said turmeric and ginger as supplements are a big no-no. But as one of many ingredients in an entree I may have that entree up to 3 times a week. Chamomile tea only 1 a week max.
Hope this helps everyone. ajdo129

Hi @ajdo129 😊
Thanks so much for the heads up about turmeric and ginger! What is in Sleepytime tea that is the problem?

I have been taking turmeric with pepper supplements for over a year. Although I don't go to Mayo, my transplant team said that it was fine for me (double lung transplant recipient). I have had no adverse effects and my Tach levels have been good. In fact they reduced my dosage since I have been taking the turmeric.
