Twenty times the Vitamin C

in amalaki, ayurveda, zrii by John Domzalski | No comments

How cow! Get this: The juice of the Amalaki fruit has almost twenty times as much Vitamin C as the juice of an orange! But that’s not all.

Research has shown that Amalaki is 12 times easier to assimilate than ascorbic acid. Researchers have also shown that just 8.7 mg of natural vitamin C from Amalaki is equivalent to 100 mg of synthetic vitamin C. (Synthetic vitamin C is often missing vital nutrients such as Rutin and Bioflavonoids.)

Here’s more:

In clinical tests conducted on patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, naturally occurring Vitamin C in Amalaki has been shown to be better absorbed in comparison to the synthetic vitamin.

Why is there sugar in Zrii? Is it added?

Zrii was designed to have sugar content in the form of simple carbohydrates from fruit pectin. It was specifically not formulated as a sugar-free beverage. The exclusion of sugar would have had different physiological implications for the way the botanicals are metabolized by the body. It also would have tasted extremely bitter without naturally occurring sweeteners in the botanicals. There is no added sugar in our formulation.

One ounce of Zrii taken 1-3 times a day, at four grams of simple carbohydrates per serving, has been deemed safe by Zrii’s team of medical doctors and nutritional experts.

Is it safe to drink Zrii that has been frozen and thawed? How about heated to high temperatures in the sun?

Drinking thawed juice is considered safe, although it will produce a negligible amount of nutritional loss; but far less than over-heating a food-grade beverage such as Zrii. Traditional Ayurveda usually recommends not freezing foods so that the product maintains its form closer to nature.

Processes that expose foods to high levels of heat, light, and/or oxygen cause the greatest nutrient loss. It is advisable not to leave Zrii in car trunks or outside for hours. (This goes for any nutritional supplement.)

Is the plastic used in Zrii bottles safe? Which plastics have been shown to leach?

Within the world of food-grade plastics, High Density Polyethylene HDPE #2 (Zrii’s bottle) is considered one of the safest and easiest to recycle.

There has been some concern in recent months regarding the leaching of chemicals in plastics. This concern stemmed from a study suggesting that #7 plastics (also called Lexan) can produce the unwanted chemical bisphenol-A (BPA), thus leading to a variety of health issues. One major manufacturer of reusable sports bottles just switched form #7 plastics back to HDPE #2 for this reason.

Is Zrii Gluten Free?

Yes, Zrii is a gluten-free product.

What is the particulate matter in Zrii?

The small particles in Zrii derive from the active botanicals.

Does consuming high levels of Vitamin C pose any health risks?

The naturally occurring Vitamin C found in Zrii/Amalaki fruit was formulated to supply a level that would be safe for everyday consumption, even when consumed at much larger than recommended doses.

Vitamin C has only been shown to have a negative impact on a few medical conditions and associated medications. These conditions are: recurrent kidney stones, severe kidney disease, gout, iron overload, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Vitamin C supplementation is, therefore, not recommended for individuals dealing with these illnesses.

Sounds like we need to ditch our oranges and get some Amalaki right?

Where do I get Amalaki you ask? From Zrii! But Zrii has even more to offer:

Over the past 50 years, there have been over 1200 studies published for the seven botanicals in Zrii. Recent studies on Amalaki have shown it to be beneficial in relation to:
