AYURVEDIC FOOD SUPPLEMENT
Brahmi Powder
Brahmi Powder, the classical Ayurvedic herb Bacopa monnieri, offered as a food supplement.
Brahmi Powder is a classical Ayurvedic herbal powder, offered by Art of Vedas as a food supplement. This page sets out what it is, the classical tradition it belongs to, its ingredients, and the heavy-metal, pesticide and microbiological test results recorded for every batch.
What Brahmi Powder is
Brahmi Powder is a classical Ayurvedic herbal powder, offered by Art of Vedas as a food supplement. It is the whole-plant powder of a single classical herb, Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi). It is made in India under Good Manufacturing Practice, and its ingredients are reviewed against EU food law.
It is vegan and contains no allergens. It is taken in small amounts stirred into warm water. As with any food supplement, it is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
Brahmi Powder in classical Ayurveda
Brahmi Powder belongs to the classical single-herb preparations recorded in the Ayurvedic literature, in the tradition of the Ashtanga Hridayam.
Art of Vedas prepares its food-supplement form within that classical frame, describing the tradition rather than any outcome, with an ingredient reviewed against EU food law, and tests it with every batch.
Quality and testing
Tested with every batch
Every production batch is tested before release: heavy metals by a laboratory method called ICP-MS, pesticide residues against EU food limits, and microbiological safety to EU food-supplement criteria. The results below are representative; every batch is retested before release.
Heavy metals
Four heavy metals were tested by ICP-MS, each within the maximum level set for food under EU law (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915).
| Metal | Result | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | Within the permitted limit | EU food maximum |
| Cadmium (Cd) | Within the permitted limit | EU food maximum |
| Mercury (Hg) | Within the permitted limit | EU food maximum |
| Arsenic (As, inorganic) | Within the permitted limit | EU food maximum |
ICP-MS is inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Limits are the EU maxima for foodstuffs under Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915.
Pesticide residues
Pesticide residues are tested and are within the maximum residue levels (MRLs) set for food under EU law (Regulation (EC) No 396/2005). Testing covers the pesticide groups relevant to dried botanical ingredients.
Maximum residue levels for foods of plant origin are set under Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Every batch is tested before release.
Microbiological safety
Microbiological safety is tested to the criteria applied to food supplements. Overall counts stay within limits and the specified pathogens were each absent.
| Test | Result |
|---|---|
| Total Aerobic Microbial Count | Within the limit |
| Yeasts and Moulds | Within the limit |
| Escherichia coli (E. coli) | Absent (not found) |
| Salmonella (per 25 g) | Absent (not found) |
| Staphylococcus aureus | Absent (not found) |
Microbiological criteria for food supplements apply. Every batch is tested before release.
