Product Overview

Ashoka Powder comes from the Ashoka tree, a tropical evergreen tree native to the Indian subcontinent. The tree belongs to the Fabaceae family and holds an important place in traditional Ayurvedic practices.

The bark contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including tannins, flavonoids, and other polyphenols. Traditional Ayurvedic preparations have used Ashoka bark, particularly in women’s health formulations.

The composition of Ashoka Powder depends on the plant part, source, and processing method.

Nutritional Value

Ashoka Powder serves mainly as a botanical ingredient rather than a conventional food or nutritional supplement. Its bark may contain naturally occurring compounds such as:

• Tannins

• Additional plant constituents that vary with processing

Composition

Ashoka bark contains several groups of naturally occurring plant compounds:

• Tannins: Plant compounds known for their astringent properties.

• Polyphenols: A broad group of plant constituents that contribute to the bark’s chemical profile.

The concentration of these compounds can vary with growing conditions, harvest time, and processing.
