AYURVEDIC GHEE FOOD SUPPLEMENT
Sukumaram Ghritham
Sukumaram Ghritham, a classical Ayurvedic ghee preparation, offered as a food supplement in a clarified-butter base with Ashwagandha, Shatavari, liquorice, raisin and warming spices.
Sukumaram Ghritham is a classical Ayurvedic preparation of the Ghritham (medicated ghee) family. Art of Vedas offers it as a food supplement: a clarified-butter (ghee) base carrying classical herbs, prepared by the traditional method recorded in the Sahasrayogam. This page sets out what it is, the classical tradition it belongs to, its ingredients and nutrition, and the heavy-metal and microbiological test results recorded for every batch.
What Sukumaram Ghritham is
Sukumaram Ghritham is a classical Ayurvedic ghee preparation, offered by Art of Vedas as a food supplement in a 150 g jar. It is a clarified-butter (ghee) base carrying Ashwagandha, Shatavari, liquorice, raisin and warming spices, prepared by the traditional method recorded in the Sahasrayogam. It is made in India under Good Manufacturing Practice, and its finished-product ingredients are declared in line with EU food law.
It contains milk (ghee is clarified butter), so it is not suitable for people with a milk allergy and is not vegan. It is taken in small amounts, a recommended 2 g per day. As with any food supplement, it is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
Sukumaram Ghritham in classical Ayurveda
Sukumaram Ghritham belongs to the classical Ghritham preparations recorded in the Ayurvedic literature, in the tradition of the Sahasrayogam. Ghrithams are prepared by cooking herbal decoctions into a ghee base until the water has evaporated and the herbal material is strained away, leaving the medicated ghee.
Art of Vedas prepares its food-supplement form within that classical frame, describing the tradition rather than any outcome, with a finished-product 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: heavy metals by a laboratory method called ICP-MS, and microbiological safety to EU food-supplement criteria. The figures 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 supplements under EU law (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915). The right-hand column shows the permitted maximum.
| Metal | Result | EU maximum (food supplements) |
|---|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | Within the permitted limit | max 3.0 mg/kg |
| Cadmium (Cd) | Within the permitted limit | max 1.0 mg/kg |
| Mercury (Hg) | Within the permitted limit | max 0.1 mg/kg |
| Arsenic (As, inorganic) | Within the permitted limit | max 3.0 mg/kg |
ICP-MS is inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Limits are the EU maxima for food supplements under Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915, in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg).
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.
