What the AI looks for in Manjishtha

Species and part
Rubia cordifolia root, not madder (Rubia tinctorum) European madder contains compounds with genotoxicity concerns and is not the Ayurvedic herb.
Contaminant testing
Third-party testing for heavy metals Roots take up soil contaminants, and imported Ayurvedic powders have a history of failing these tests.

Brands that matter

  • Banyan Botanicals: Organic manjistha in tablet and powder form.

What to avoid

  • Products that list only 'Indian madder' with no Latin name
  • Rubia tinctorum sold as a substitute

Questions
