AYURVEDIC FOOD SUPPLEMENT
Brahmi Ghritham
Brahmi Ghritham, the classical Ayurvedic ghrita (herbal ghee) of the Ashtanga Hridayam, prepared with Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) in a ghee base.
Brahmi Ghritham is a classical Ayurvedic food supplement from Art of Vedas, a herbal ghee (ghrita). This page sets out what it is, the classical tradition it belongs to, its ingredients, and the pesticide, heavy-metal and microbiological test results recorded for every batch.
What Brahmi Ghritham is
Brahmi Ghritham is a classical Ayurvedic food supplement, offered by Art of Vedas. It is a ghrita (herbal ghee): clarified butter (ghee) prepared with Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) and a classical group of supporting herbs. It is made in India under Good Manufacturing Practice, and the ingredients are reviewed against EU food law.
Because it is prepared in a ghee base, Brahmi Ghritham is not vegan and contains milk (from ghee). The recommended intake is shown on the pack. As with any food supplement, it is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
Brahmi Ghritham in classical Ayurveda
Brahmi Ghritham is a classical ghrita preparation recorded in the Ashtanga Hridayam, one of the great texts of Ayurveda. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is among the most celebrated herbs of the classical materia medica.
Art of Vedas presents the preparation within that classical frame, describing the tradition rather than any outcome, with an ingredient list 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: pesticide residues against EU food limits, heavy metals by ICP-MS, and microbiological safety. 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 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.
