Giloy Powder for Immunity

Giloy – Tinospora cordifolia stem powder 100 g

Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia), also known as Guduchi, is a climbing vine with heart-shaped leaves that grows in the tropical regions of India. Giloy powder is made from the plant's dried stems, which are the richest in bioactive compounds – alkaloids, glycosides, resins and flavonoids – responsible for its health-supporting properties.

What are the main dietary properties of giloy powder?

Giloy is regarded as an adaptogen that supports immunity, cleanses the body and has anti-inflammatory properties. It helps maintain normal blood sugar levels, improves digestion, supports liver and kidney function and speeds up recovery.

What can regular use of giloy powder help with?

• supports immunity and protects against infections,
  

• supports the normal function of the digestive system,
  

• boosts concentration and overall vitality.

How to use giloy (guduchi) – what is the recommended dose and how should you take it?

The recommended serving is 1/2 teaspoon (approx. 2–3 g) daily, ideally dissolved in warm water, milk or juice. For better results, you can take it in the morning on an empty stomach or in the evening before bed. To balance its taste and action, giloy can be combined with honey or aloe vera juice.

Can giloy be combined with other Ayurvedic herbs?

Yes, giloy pairs perfectly with ashwagandha, tulsi, amla or triphala – creating comprehensive blends that boost immunity, energy and the body's cleansing processes.

How does giloy affect the digestive system and blood sugar levels?

This herb supports digestion and soothes heartburn and the feeling of heaviness after meals, while also regulating blood sugar levels.

How does giloy powder differ from giloy capsules or juice?

Giloy powder is the purest natural form of the herb, with no additives or preservatives. This means it retains its full range of active ingredients and can be taken orally or used in Ayurvedic blends. Tablets and juices are more convenient, but they often contain carriers or water, which lowers their concentration.

How should you store giloy powder to preserve its properties?
Store it in a dry, cool and shaded place, ideally in an airtight container. Avoid moisture and exposure to sunlight – this will help preserve the herb's aroma and potency for longer.

The recommended intake is 3 g (one teaspoon) per day. You can take it in various ways, depending on your taste preferences and convenience. One popular way is to mix the powder with honey, which not only improves its taste but also adds the extra health properties of honey.

Alternatively, you can prepare a Giloy infusion. To do this, put the recommended amount of powder in a cup and pour boiling water over it. Then let the infusion steep, covered, for about 30 minutes, which allows the valuable substances contained in the plant to be fully released.

Giloy is valued for its adaptogenic properties and its ability to support the immune system. Regular use may help the body cope better with stress and difficult environmental conditions.

However, remember to stick to the recommended daily dose and to treat the supplement as a complement to a healthy diet and lifestyle, not as a substitute for it.
