Organic Kutki Root Powder | Kutki, Katuka Rohini

Organic Kutki Root Powder — known as Kutki in Hindi, Katuka Rohini in Tamil, Katuka Rohini in Telugu, Kadugurohini in Malayalam, Kali Katuki in Marathi, and Katuki in Bengali (Picrorhiza kurroa)

Organic Kutki Root and Rhizome Powder (Picrorhiza kurroa) is a certified-organic, shade-dried and low-heat milled powder retaining the characteristic bitter iridoid glycoside (picroside family) profile traditionally associated with liver-supportive Ayurvedic formulations. The intensely bitter powder suits organic supplement applications requiring a clean-label root-derived ingredient.

Key benefits

• Digestive-bitter ritual: A clear, tonic bitterness supports mindful, unhurried meals inside a food-first plan.
• Flavour-led adherence: Naturally bitter yet tidy in small servings; easy to round with lemon peel or ginger so habits stick.
• Everyday antioxidant support: Plant polyphenols and iridoids contribute to oxidative-balance habits within a varied diet.
• Label-clean build: Single-ingredient root powder with simple mg-math for cups, capsules, gummies and sachets.
• Batch consistency: Fine milling and low moisture aid smooth dispersion and reproducible SOPs from bench to production.

How to use

• Pre-meal capsule: Evaluate solo for two weeks; then pair modestly with fennel, cinnamon or soluble fibre—one change at a time. As a routine practice, space ~90 minutes from medications.
• Functional food inclusion: Add Organic Kutki / Picrorhiza (Picrorhiza kurroa) Root Powder to granola bars, protein balls, and functional snack formats — pilot at 2–5% inclusion rate and adjust to flavour and nutritional target.
• Supplement powder blends: verify taste profile and dispersibility at target inclusion rate.
• Beverage & drink mixes: confirm solubility and colour contribution at intended concentration.
