SENSORY ANALYSIS: The Physical Profile

We opened a capsule to verify the root authenticity.
Authentic Tejocote is distinct from toxic impostors.

• The Look: Inside the capsule, you will find coarse, Hard Woody Granules (Root Cuts). They are dense and stone-like, varying from light tan to rusty brown.
• The Texture: Unlike soft fillers, these cuts are extremely hard (like a fruit pit), which is the signature of the Crataegus root.
• The Smell: Faintly woody and fruity (like dried apple wood). It lacks the chemical smell of processed binders.

Is this Safe? (The Yellow Oleander Warning)

YES. This is Lab-Tested Crataegus mexicana.
Recent FDA warnings highlighted that many brands were selling toxic Yellow Oleander as Tejocote.

• Our Guarantee: We send every batch to a 3rd-party lab to verify botanical identity. We certify that our product is 100% Yellow Oleander FREE.
• Why Encapsulated Cuts? Traditional root chunks can be a choking hazard. We encapsulate the cuts to ensure safe swallowing and precise daily dosing.

How does Tejocote Root support Weight Loss?

Research suggests the high Pectin content acts as a lipid-binder.

• The Herb: Tejocote (Crataegus mexicana) – Mexican Hawthorn Root.
• The Mechanism: The root is rich in Pectin and Vitamin C. When ingested, the pectin absorbs water and expands in the gut, creating satiety.
• The Detox: It creates a “Cleansing” effect, encouraging the body to utilize stored fat reserves and clearing the digestive tract of stagnation.

CRITICAL USAGE: The Potassium Rule

Tejocote is a potent detoxifier that can deplete electrolytes.

• The Rule: You MUST consume high-potassium foods daily while taking this supplement. We recommend Baobab capsules.
• Why: The detox process can flush potassium, leading to muscle cramps or fatigue.
• Eat Daily: 1 Banana, Avocado, or Potassium water alongside your capsule.
• Hydration: Drink 1 gallon of water daily to facilitate the cleansing process.
