Banyan Botanicals Organic Arjuna Powder ­­– Arjuna Bark Powder (Terminalia Arjuna) –Traditional Herbal Heart Supplement for Proper Heart Function* – 1/2 lb. – Non-GMO, Sustainably Sourced, Vegan*USDA Organic

Original organic Arjun powder. If you are shopping for heart healthy ayurvedic medicine to reduce your LdL, they say this is the best.

I was skeptical trying this out, I've never ordered from this company before and bulk powders seem risky. I'm glad I tried it. From what I can tell it's the real deal, although I have no scientific way to test other than sight and taste.So, onto why I bought Arjuna. From what I've read its a good way to protect, heal, and even increase the function of your heart. Most studies done using it were on those who suffered some form of cardiac injury, mostly on myocardial infarction, where it was able to alleviate some symptoms and reduce the likely hood of mitral regurgitation which is a cause of death with myocardial infarction. The studies showed that using arjuna can protect against stimulant induced stress and also general stressors such as oxidative damage to the heart. It was also able to decrease cardiac hypertrophy at doses of 1500mg a day (3 doses of 500mg split up).In healthy persons, it was able to increase anaerobic exercise and power output (think sprinting and bench pressing), though this was only 1 study. In general this is a very safe, pretty healthy, under studied herb that will protect your heart and may allow you to become stronger/run longer. It apparently has additive benefits with ashwagandha, in that it promotes cardiovascular health in parameters that arjuna does not.If interested, you can read more at [...]

I have not found any straight answers on how to consume Arjuna Powder. Some practitioners recommend having it thrice a day, or adding it to warm water and honey. I believe if you are on Aspirin (which is from Willow Bark), having Arjuna more than once a day makes little sense. Both Arjuna and Willow barks offer cleansing in their own ways. I normally add it to fruits or yogurt. I know folks who practice Ayurveda may not agree having yogurt for heart. I consider yogurt better than exotic honey. Obtaining local honey is not easy, therefore the best choice is yogurt and Arjuna. If you are not used to things that are bitter, try not to have Arjuna directly – you will quickly grow an apathy towards it. Best, have it with the yogurt. Having it in a veggie-capsule is not a great option either. About this product – this product is potent. It has certainly done a lot of good. A combination of Aswagandha with Arjuna with about a fifteen minute gap is a good heart rejuvenator.

was delivered before promised date and is a fresh quality product. I wish they would include something on how to use. I later learned that you had to make a tea and drink the fluid and discard the solid.

Was skeptical until threes weeks after starting I am angina free even when I don't exercise. I dissolve this powder (1/4 tsp)in the water I make my oatmeal with every morning and take a capsule of arjuna before bedtime. I also take 2 capsules of green tree extract and a b complex. I no longer use any prescription meds for blood pressure, angina, chloresterol(statins) or platelet needs such as plavix and my blood pressure is fine, sometimes venturing to 130's over mid 80's, pulse ranges from 67 to low 80's. Can't say what it will do for others but I will say give it a try, it's too inexpensive not to. I AM A BELIEVER, I JUST HAD A HEART ATTACK SEPT 19 THIS YEAR and the meds made me dizzy, affected my kidneys, gave me unbearable headaches and all sorts of side effects. I have none of that now. I would recommend this to anyone taking those poisons

But Arjuna is a thousand year old at least, herbal remedy from India, from the Arjune tree, something like that anyway, and is known not only to help with heart disease and lipid assimilation, but is actually known to heal already damaged heart tissue as well, well, what can you expect from God's Apothecary anyway? It's the best, I swear by it, and it actually seems to help with my hubby's snoring too... ahh! I try to never run out of the stuff! goferit! This particular product here is really "all that"! I thank my vendor for his five star product!

I am taking this to reduce my BP, and although I’m doing a few other things too (hibiscus tea), my pressures are down. I mix it with my morning dose of psyllium husks, as it is somewhat powdery with a rather strong taste.

I started using this a month and a week ago and the lipids values are surprisingly going down while the HDL is getting up! Very very glad!
