Organic Baobab Extract

Organic Baobab Extract is derived from the fruit of the baobab tree, native to Africa. The extract is typically made by processing the baobab fruit pulp, which is dried and then ground into a powder or concentrated into an extract.

Manufacturers add baobab extract for its nutritional content, particularly its high levels of vitamin C and fiber, and its mild, slightly tangy flavor. It is often found in beverages like energy drinks and powdered drink mixes, as well as in protein powders and health food products.

Organic Baobab Extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of nutrients like vitamin C and fiber. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have not specifically evaluated baobab extract as a food additive, but its use is permitted in foods. Evidence suggests it may contribute to digestive health due to its fiber content, but more research is needed to confirm specific health benefits.
