Organic Amalaki Churna, 500g

Amla is called the "fruit of youth and beauty" in Ayurveda. It is considered the most important rasayana (rejuvenating agent - not scientifically proven). It is also called the "Indian gooseberry" in German because of its similarity to the local gooseberry. The fresh fruit is extremely sour and contains a lot of vitamin C. Out of six possible flavours, it comprises five, only salty is missing. It soothes all three doshas, but mainly the pitta dosha.

Normally, Amla fruits are traditionally cooked briefly after harvesting to separate the pulp from the seed. The resulting powder is usually almost black. With our Amla products, on the other hand, the pulp is mechanically separated from the seed without heating it. The fruit is dried at low temperatures and then ground into powder. This powder is creamy white and contains a high ORAC value due to the gentle processing.

Modern science has defined the so-called ORAC value to indicate the antioxidant properties of a plant. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity and is measured in ORAC units per 100g. It gives consumers a comparative measure that can be used as an indication of the antioxidant potential of food.

According to some scientists, the average daily requirement of an adult is about 5,000 - 7,000 ORAC units. The Amla powder specially produced for us contains 165,000 ORAC units per 100 g (determined by the LEFO Institute - accredited testing laboratory). Two examples for comparison: Raspberries contain 4,882 units per 100 g, Moringa leaf powder 62,600 units. Our Amla powder contains a significantly higher level of ORAC units and shows antioxidant potential even in small amounts, taken as a dietary supplement.
