Organic Amalaki Churna (powder), 100 g

Amla is known in Ayurveda as the "fruit of youth and beauty". It is considered the most important rasayana (rejuvenating agent - not scientifically proven). In German it is also known as the "Indian gooseberry" because of its similarity to the local gooseberry. The fresh fruit is extremely sour and contains a lot of vitamin C. It has five of the six possible flavors, the only one missing is salty.
It calms all three doshas, ​​but mainly the Pitta dosha.

Normally, Amla fruits are traditionally boiled briefly after harvesting to separate the pulp from the stone. The resulting powder is usually almost black. In our Amla products, however, the pulp is mechanically separated from the stone without heating it. The fruits are dried at low temperatures and then ground into powder. This powder is creamy white and has 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 100 g. It gives the consumer a comparative measurement that can serve as an indication of the antioxidant potential of foods.

According to some scientists, the average daily requirement of an adult is around 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 quantities, taken as a dietary supplement.

Note: The descriptions and effects of the herbs and extracts come from ancient Ayurvedic traditions and Indian folk medicine.
