By the Zespo team · Updated 26 October 2026

Terminalia arjuna is a tall evergreen tree that grows along rivers and streams across India. It is named after Arjuna, the hero of the Mahabharata, and its smooth, pale bark peels off in large flakes.

Which part is used?

The bark is the part described in classical Ayurvedic texts. It is collected, dried and either powdered or extracted.

On the label

Arjuna supplements list bark powder or a bark extract, sometimes with an extract ratio. Check which, the amount per serving and that the botanical name Terminalia arjuna is stated.

What to check before you buy

  • The amount of each ingredient per serving, not just per capsule
  • How many capsules make one serving and how many servings are in the pack
  • Whether any ingredient sits inside an undisclosed "proprietary blend"
  • An FSSAI licence number and the veg/non-veg mark on the pack

Label facts: Zespo Arjuna 500 mg - 90 Veg Capsules

  • Standardised Terminalia arjuna bark extract, not raw bark powder
  • 500 mg in a single daily capsule
  • Classical Ayurvedic herb, prepared to modern GMP standards
  • Made in India in a GMP-certified facility, FSSAI-licensed
