How can Rasa be energizing if there’s no caffeine? If you brew Dirty Rasa double-strong, an 8 oz cup will have 70 mg of caffeine.
#Rasa drink free
Fun fact: the FDA says if a product has 5 mg or less, you can technically call it caffeine free! So there are many cacao products that say caffeine free that aren't quite-so if you are avoiding 100% of caffeine, you will want to stay away from cacao products!ĭirty Rasa has actual coffee & 35 mg of caffeine, about 1/5 a standard cup of coffee. The gentle stimulation you might feel comes from two of our adaptogenic herbs, eleuthero and rhodiola.Ĭacao Rasa has just a teensy bit of caffeine (< 5 mg).
Original Rasa is naturally caffeine free. Yes! Rasa is Certified USDA Organic by CCOF. Is Rasa Kosher?Įach of the herbs we use are individually certified kosher, and Rasa is produced in a kosher facility. However, because of the financial and administrative overhead to obtain certifications, and our teeny company size, we are currently focusing all the bandwidth we have for certifications on Organic certification. We would be HAPPY to send you proof of the individual kosher certifications for each of our 12 herbs if you would like to see them! Is Rasa organic? While we are not Certified Gluten-Free, Rasa contains no grains (like many other coffee alternative products) or gluten-containing ingredients, and is produced in a 100% gluten-free facility. Please also feel free to email for detailed information on each blend if required. I’m giving you all perspectives that I know so you can make the right decision for you, with your own (& your healthcare practitioner's) wisdom. If you feel unsure.maybe best to wait!Īnd if the fact that the FDA has not determined safety is sufficient information for you to make your decision, we wholeheartedly support you in that choice! Rasa will be here with open arms when you're ready. 🤗 If your baby has a very sensitive digestive system, maybe best to wait.
If you have a complicated pregnancy, maybe best to wait. That said: ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BODY AND YOUR BABY.įor me, I personally felt almost repulsed by Rasa in my first trimester, so I didn’t drink it! From second trimester on, I craved it and drank it plentifully. That babe is probably 30% Rasa. 😄 Both babes are ludicrously healthy! You won’t get even close to that even drinking large quantities of Rasa! At normal therapeutic doses, Ayurveda actually recommends ashwagandha to help prevent miscarriage.Īnecdotally, I nursed my now 4-year old for 2 years while drinking Rasa regularly, drunk it most days during my recent pregnancy, & still drink it while nursing my 1-year old. Here’s a fun & illustrative contradiction, though: the FDA says ashwagandha is NOT safe for pregnancy or breastfeeding, while Ayurveda practitioners will often *prescribe* it during these times! There was a study indicating that ashwagandha can cause abortion.at EXTREMELY high doses in rats.
In fact, the two primary Ayurvedic herbs in our formula, ashwagandha & shatavari, are frequently *prescribed* during pregnancy and to help support healthy lactation. They all saw no major contraindications, including pregnancy or breastfeeding. The Rasa formula was expertly crafted by an herbalist, & I've since had it run by over a dozen herbalists, Chinese medicine doctors, & Ayurvedic practitioners, all with decades in their fields. I wanted something that would help me cope with the stressors of motherhood, and provide more sustainable energy than coffee could. I actually co-created Rasa when I was breastfeeding my first son at 5 months old. These traditions have investigated these herbs in practical daily life application for hundreds, even thousands of years. HOWEVER, the FDA is simply not as familiar with some of our herbs as Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda-the traditions that these herbs hail from-are. The official FDA-sanctioned answer is that there is not enough information about several of the herbs in Rasa to determine safety for either pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please excuse the long answer, I like to give both sides so you can make choice that feels best for you & your baby! SAFETY Is Rasa safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding?
