The Magic Formula

The key formula in Zrii is a specially designed, proprietary blend of 7 superfoods with documented and undeniable health benefits.

Amalaki Fruit (Emblica Officinalis)
The central ingredient in Zrii's revolutionary formula is the Amalaki fruit. It is known as the all-purpose healer, due to its amazing ability to cure a myriad of diseases, including heart ailments, poor liver functions, serious skin diseases, and basic aging. Amalaki is the cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine and is virtually a one-stop solution for an enormous list of ailments.

The Amalaki actually belongs to the ‘currant’ family. Its two other names are Dhatriphala and Vayastha. It has powerful curative properties similar to that of berries and is a rich source of antioxidants, which fight the signs of aging in our bodies. It is the botanical for cellular rejuvenation. For centuries this small, pale green wonder, which grows in the fertile soil at the base of the Himalayas, has often been considered the most effective source for, among other things, promoting cellular rejuvenation, enhancing immune function, and increasing vitality. It is often refrred to as the "Great Rejuvinator"

Turmeric Root (Curcuma Longa)
Native to tropical South Asia, Turmeric—often misspelled as Tumeric—thrives in temperatures between 20 and 30 degree Celsius with plenty of rain. After a process of boiling and then drying Turmeric in hot ovens, rhizomes are extracted from it, ground into a powder and used as a spice and dye. Curcumin, its active ingredient, has a peppery flavor and smells similar to mustard. Turmeric is used in many food products and can usually be found in curry powders.

In the branch of ayurvedic medicine, Turmeric is considered to be as the ‘Spice of Life’ for its innumerable benefits and various medicinal properties. In Indian, it is the most commonly used home remedy in form of antiseptic for day to day bruises, cuts or burns. Turmeric is known for its superior digestive properties as well. It is mainly added to foods which are hard to digest like beans and chick-peas. It is also used in ayurvedic drug preparations for digestive medication.

Jujube Fruit (Ziziphus Jujuba Mill)
Jujube is a small tree or shrub with thorny branches, green, shiny leaves and edible fruit that, when mature, resembles a date (which led to the nickname Chinese Date). Jujube fruit has been cultivated for over 4,000 years and can grow in a wide range of temperatures—although hot summers are required to successfully produce fruit.

Jujube is known to calm nerves. By grounding the fruit to a powder, small amounts can be used to promptly reduce the effects of stress and purify the blood. In addition, the compound called Ziziphin found in Jujube leaves can suppress the sweet taste in humans and Jujube fruit helps soothe the throat.



Tulsi Leaf (Ocimum Sanctum)
Tulsi, also spelled Tulasi and referred to as Holy Basil, is an aromatic plant and, beyond its many culinary purposes, has particular spiritual relevance as well. Some Hindus consider a household incomplete without a Tulsi plant and still others provide structural spaces within the home especially for their Tulsi. In other spiritual practices, Tulsi is used to make necklaces.

Medicinally, Tulsi has been known to enhance digestion and intestinal health. The plant's extracts are also used in remedies for colds, headaches, stomach ailments, inflammation, heart disease, and malaria. Recent studies suggest that Tulsi may be effective as a painkiller and may help reduce glucose and cholesterol levels. It also has antioxidant properties.

Schizandra Fruit (Schizandra Chinensis)
Schizandra Magnolia or Schizandra Chinensis is a plant with woody vine like stem. It bears berry like fruits which are red and grow in clusters. This plant is mainly found in the north and north-eastern regions of China and also in some part of Japan, Korea and Russia. Historically it is a famous tonic often consumed by Chinese royalty and by Daoist masters. It is said to have miraculous properties for the improvement of memory and mental functions.

The berries of this plant are also called ‘Wu Wie Zi’ which means ‘fruit of five flavors’. This is because the fruit actually tastes sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. The seeds of this berry taste pungent and bitter. Schizandra is rich in essential oils, minerals, phytochemicals and vitamins.

Haritaki Fruit (Terminalia Chebula)
All seven types of Haritaki fruit have their own unique look, flavor and benefits as well as anthraquinone-like (laxative) chemicals, tannins and astringents. Haritaki fruit is part of triphala, the three-fruit formula in Ayurveda. It is generally administered in triphala form rather than by itself to draw upon its tonic effects.

Haritaki has been shown to nourish tissues, particularly the heart, liver, and kidney. It is used to treat diseases of the eye (both internally and externally). In addition, Haritaki, by blocking the ability to utilize sugars, may help to eliminate bacteria and have cholesterol-lowering qualities.

Ginger Root (Zingiber Officinale)
For more than 2,500 years, Ginger has been used to treat ailments and please the palate. Today the edible portion of the perennial plant is used worldwide in a variety of ways. In France they use it to flavor a liqueur and the United Kingdom produces a ginger flavored wine. In the Middle East, ginger powder is used as a spice for coffee and in the West, we use Ginger to satisfy our sweet tooth in gingerbread, ginger ale, ginger snaps—even ginger candy.

Generally Ginger is used to improve digestion, absorption and assimilation. In addition, Ginger has been used frequently for dyspepsia and colic, to ease pain from arthritis, has blood thinning and cholesterol lowering properties that can help treat heart disease, and can be an effective treatment for nausea. Gingerols have shown evidence of aiding the movement of the gastrointestinal tract and have antibacterial, sedative, antipyretic, and analgesic properties.
