Wonder why ashitaba is the most popular green food in Japan and the most searched plant in the Philippines now?
It’s not often when you can kill many birds with one stone. Consuming ashitaba will help save healthcare costs and certainly protect your health. I’d like to put emphasis on the latter. Ashitaba is a single super product that exerts so many positive effects on health! It contains 11 different types of vitamins and 13 minerals. B12 is one of them.
This vitamin is normally produced only in animals (meat, fish and eggs) and not plants. So if you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you should most definitely take ashitaba to supplement your body with B12.
What B12 Does
With regular and adequate supply of vitamin B12 in your daily diet, you will have increased production of blood cells, increased attention span and concentration, increased production of growth hormone, and stronger immune system to fight off serious disorders like cancer.
Conversely, if you are short of B12, your body will be more prone to having serious cognitive and nervous system problems, in addition to increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and pernicious anemia.
But that is not all, so stay with me here.
Nutritional analysis of ashitaba revealed the following:
- 100 grams of ashitaba powder contains the beta-carotene content equivalent to four carrots for good vision.
- The vitamin B2 content in ashitaba is equivalent to 28 cloves of garlic. This celery-like vegetable also contains nerve growth factors (NGF) that help to regulate good blood pressure and lower cholesterol.
- Its vitamin C content is equivalent to four lemons and nine times the amount of iron found in spinach.
- Ashitaba is a lactogate and as a detoxifier, which helps remove heavy metals such as mercury, lead etc. which have been found in mother’s milk. It promotes a better immune system with healthy milk for babies.
- Ashitaba restores the efficient function of organs, especially the liver and kidneys.
- an effective blood purifier and detoxifier.
- Ashitaba also contains vitamins B1, B3, B5, B6, biotin, folic acid, and the minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, zinc, copper, manganese, sulfur and silicon.
- Ashitaba promotes metabolism for weight control and helps lower blood sugar levels, enhancing the body’s own ability to heal itself.

For both men and women of all ages, ashitaba is recommended as it has been used as a traditional herbal formulation. Try taking it for a month and the wonder will soon dust off the pearl.
You will know why in Japan, this celery-like plant’s juice is present in their 24/7 major subway stations in a form of healthy energy drinks. In Japan, they even sell ashitaba ice cream! Yummy… 😀

Ashitaba balances the vitamin B12 content in your body resulting to stronger resistance.
Your body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells and it gets recycled to maintain body balance. Ashitaba is taken to support this body function or the lack of vitamin B12 will cause the damage of brains.
With Vitamin B12, it would also give you stringer resistance.
Ashitaba is very nutritious but hard to find noh? Hope we can have a plantation of ashitaba here in PH.
Yes. Ashitaba grows fine only in places with colder climates so it's hard to find ashitaba plants in the Philippines (we're a tropical country). 😐
i actually love veggies and i have no issue with eating it. as regards with ashitaba, i think we need that in the Philippines but apparently its hot in here!
Wow you're one of the few people I know who love veggies. Apir. 😀 Hehe yes it's very hot in the Philippines. We can get ashitaba extracts or the seeds imported from online sites.
It's honestly my first time to hear this ashitaba. I badly need this since I really lack of vitamin C. Making it available in japan for 24/7 means it's something our bodies really need.
I suggest you also take citrus fruits and other food rich in vitamin C so you get the nutrient by natural absorption. Supplements are only to supplement the food you intake.
Would you know where can I buy ashitaba? This is my first time to know about this.
Hi Kaye. You can feel free to browse through the products in the webstore above. If you want the seeds, find "ashitaba seeds horizon herbs" key words in the search engine and you can order them from US. If you want the plant in pot itself and/or ashitaba in powder or capsule form, you can contact me via email.
As a herbal medicine, the Ashitaba really targets the vegetarian market! =)
Actually it does not only cater to the vegetarians but also the meat-eaters..and just about everyone.
wow ashitaba have many benefits! What will you recommend to make the taste more better?
You can make a homemade ice cream out of ashitaba leaves, just like what Japanese do. You can add other ingredients and mix ashitaba, too, in a bowl of salad. I have posted sample recipes for ashitaba in this blog. Check them out. 🙂
I've also read about the other benefits of this plant from a vegetarian friend. Pero he posted about it on his personal online journal. 🙂
Ohh that's nice. 🙂 Vegetarians most of the time lack in B12 because it's not found in many vegetables so this one can help vegetarians to gain that "missing vitamin."
GREAT EXPLANATION, THANK YOU
