PIOR Living is proud to deliver an unwavering commitment to the entire production process (Dietary Ecosystem), while honoring ancient heritage practices. To ensure the highest quality and purest Ayurvedic dietary products, all of our ingredients are:
- Sustainably sourced from India
- Organic or wild-crafted
- Harvested with the seasons
- Minimally processed
- Used with intention
Our Sustainability Practices
To support the sustainability of our ingredients, we verify all botanicals are not listed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and are either certified organic or procured by wild-crafting under the Biodiversity Regulation of India.
We also confirm that our raw honey is wild-crafted and never heated or cooked; our ghee is acquired from grassfed, non-hybrid Indian Gir cows that are free to roam and are only milked by free will, never by force; our jaggery is wild-crafted; and our black sesame oil is virgin and cold-pressed.
Our Testing
To certify the quality of our products, we require certificates of analysis for Organoleptic, Physiochemical, Heavy Metals, and Microbiological Limit.
Organoleptic Testing
Organoleptic testing is used for the identification of our products and involves the physical examination of the herbs to confirm that they have the correct appearance, color, odor and taste.
Physiochemical
To confirm the authenticity of the herbs, we use thin layer chromatography and conduct drying to reveal that the levels of solids, ash content, and active ingredients present in the plants adhere to the recommended reference ranges.
Heavy Metals
For the safety of our customers and to be in compliance with California Proposition 65, we test our herbs and products to confirm they fall within the acceptable daily limits for arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury using independent India and U.S. laboratories.
Microbiological Limit
We also test for microbiological activity and use both India and U.S. laboratories.
