What does ‘Biodynamic®’ mean?
Think organic but better. Farms that earn Demeter Certified Biodynamic®, the world’s oldest ecological certification, use regenerative, soil-first practices to meet the highest standards in agriculture. Every certified farm is a self-contained, self-sustaining ecosystem that follows the cycles of nature through century-old methods – like plant diversity, cover crops, livestock integration, low-till practices as well as complete removal of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. As a result, farmers improve the health of their land and quality of their ingredients while cultivating a stronger planet.

What are the benefits of combining vitamin C with iron?
Iron comes in two types – heme (ferrous iron), which is found in meats, and non-heme (ferric iron), which is found in plants. Non-heme iron is the main type in your diet and also the type contained in the vast majority of iron supplements, including Iron from Organic Curry.
While heme iron is fairly easily absorbed by your body, non-heme iron requires the assistance of vitamin C for absorption. Vitamin C boosts the amount of iron your body absorbs by forming an iron chelate complex, which increases solubility of iron in your small intestine. We include Vitamin C from Biodynamic® Amla Fruit to make sure you get maximum benefit from the iron.*

Where are the ingredients grown or sourced from?
The Curry Leaves and Amla Fruit that we use to make Iron from Organic Curry are grown in Demeter Certified Biodynamic® orchards in India, a region where both curry and amla trees thrive.
Demeter Certified Biodynamic® crops meet the highest standards in agriculture through regenerative, soil-first practices – like plant diversity, cover crops and livestock integration – while prohibiting synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. As a result, farmers improve the health of their land and quality of their ingredients.
