    Hi Linda, this is a question for your doctor. If he approves turmeric for you, our product, GFM, has turmeric but several other ingredients you would want to run by your doctor as well because of your condition.

    Linda, this is a question for your doctor. If he approves your taking it we believe you will find our product to be very effective because of the unique delivery system via aloe vera. We wish you the best.
