Consider yourself blessed to not be on any medications. Keep it that way if you can. People that are on medications need to be careful when taking supplements. The challenging part is finding someone in person that is good at deciphering both that doesn't cost thousands of dollars out of pocket.

I was taking Tart Cherry for inflammation and was scheduled for a surgery. Tart Cherry can act as a blood thinner, 3 layers down in the medical system a provider caught that I was taking it and told me to stop taking it a week prior to surgery as a precaution. I don't know if it was a big deal or not, but I am glad someone was paying attention. I went back on Tart Cherry after the operation.

Thanks!!! Good to know. I take Tart Cherry, too. I'm going to make a note on the bottle.
