The arjuna tree has grown in India for thousands of years, and its bark is one of the oldest herbs in the Ayurvedic tradition. This Swanson supplement contains Terminalia arjuna bark extract, standardized to at least 0.5% arjunolic acid. Each capsule provides 500 mg of extract, packaged in a plant-based capsule. Interesting for anyone looking for an Ayurvedic herbal extract with a long history of traditional use.
Terminalia arjuna is a deciduous tree from the Combretaceae family. The bark contains a mix of substances: triterpenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols. Arjunolic acid is one of them. Terminalia arjuna has been used in the Ayurvedic tradition for over three thousand years. This Swanson product extracts it from the trunk and branch bark and concentrates it in capsule form.
You often see the term 'standardized' with herbal extracts. What many people do not know: it means that the manufacturer guarantees that there is a minimum amount of a specific marker substance in it. In this case, that is arjunolic acid, at least 0.5% per capsule. Why is that important? Because raw bark powder can vary considerably in composition from harvest to harvest. A standardized Terminalia arjuna extract provides more consistency. You know what you are getting with every capsule. That is the difference between a loose powder and a controlled extract.
The arjuna tree has a long history within the Ayurvedic tradition. That traditional use focuses on the bark as a whole: the combination of triterpenoids, polyphenols, and flavonoids that occur naturally in it. There are no approved health claims for Terminalia arjuna; we therefore only describe what the product is and what is in it. Take one capsule twice a day with water.
Raw bark powder varies in composition from harvest to harvest. This extract is standardized to arjunolic acid, one of the characteristic triterpenes in arjuna bark. This gives you a consistent dose of this marker substance in every capsule.
Each capsule contains 500 mg of Terminalia arjuna bark extract. When taken twice daily, you get 1000 mg per day.
This supplement contains one main ingredient: Terminalia arjuna bark extract. It also contains only the necessary excipients for a stable capsule. No artificial colors, no animal-derived gelatin. This makes it easy to combine with other supplements without duplication.
The capsules are made from hypromellose — a plant-based alternative to gelatin. The product is also non-GMO verified. Suitable for those who consciously choose a plant-based and clean supplement.

Terminalia arjuna is a deciduous tree from India belonging to the Combretaceae family. The bark of this tree has been used in the Ayurvedic tradition for over three thousand years. The extract contains a mix of triterpenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols — various groups of plant compounds, each with its own properties.
It means that the manufacturer guarantees that each capsule contains at least 0.5% arjunolic acid. Arjunolic acid is a triterpene — one of the characteristic compounds found in arjuna bark. Because the composition of raw bark powder can vary per harvest, standardisation ensures that you receive a consistent amount of this marker compound with every capsule.
With the recommended use of one capsule twice daily, this jar provides a 30-day supply.
Yes. Swanson has been around since 1969 and is one of the larger supplement manufacturers in the United States. Their products are produced according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines. This specific product is also non-GMO verified and contains only plant-based capsules.
Terminalia arjuna bark contains three main groups of plant compounds: triterpenoids (including arjunolic acid), flavonoids and polyphenols. Due to strict EU regulations, we cannot make any claims about the effects of these plant compounds; therefore, we only describe what is in it.
With raw bark powder, you simply grind the bark finely. The amount of plant substances then varies per harvest, season, and growing conditions. With a standardized extract, the concentrate is tested and guaranteed to contain a minimum amount of a specific marker substance, in this case 0.5% arjunolic acid. This makes the composition per capsule more predictable than with a loose powder.
