Carob powder

 

 

Carob is a tree. Don’t confuse carob with Jacaranda caroba which is also known as carob tree. People use the carob fruit for medicine and in foods.

Medicinally, carob is used for digestion problems including diarrhea, heartburn, and the intestine’s inability to properly absorb certain nutrients from food. These absorption disorders include celiac disease and sprue.

Other uses of carob include treatment of obesity, vomiting during pregnancy, and high cholesterol.

In infants, carob is used for vomiting, retching cough, and diarrhea.

In foods and beverages, carob is used as a flavoring agent and as a chocolate substitute. Carob flour and extracts are also used as ingredients in food products.

How does it work?
Carob contains chemicals called tannins, which decrease the effectiveness of certain substances (enzymes) that help with digestion. Carob might cause weight loss, reduce blood sugar and insulin levels, and lower cholesterol levels.

Possibly Effective for:
Diarrhea. Some research suggests drinking juice extracted from raw carob bean or taking carob pod powder just prior to taking a standard oral rehydration solution (ORS) reduces the duration of symptoms in children and infants with acute diarrhea.
High cholesterol. Early research suggests that taking carob pulp or a specific carob product (Caromax, Nutrinova, Frankfurt, Germany) by mouth for up to 6 weeks reduces total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad”) cholesterol in people with moderately high cholesterol.

 

Use of the carob:

Adult (over 18 years)

No toxicological study was undertaken to determine the maximum dose to use. Therefore, to rely on traditionally used doses, or 20 to 30 g of carob powder dissolved in a hot liquid such as water, tea or milk, once per day.

Children (under 18 years)

Its use is not recommended because the effective and harmless carob doses have not yet been scientifically determined

The carob treats hypercholesterolemia

The high-fibre of the carob suggests that it could reduce blood cholesterol levels. In 2010, researchers studied the effects of consumption of carob fibers rich in polyphenols on 88 individuals with hypercholesterolemia. The results of this study indicate that this consumption decreases after a month the levels of total cholesterol (-18%), LDL cholesterol 'bad cholesterol' (26%) and triglycerides (-16%)

Contraindications

Carob is generally safe for consumption. Even for children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

Safe Dosage of Carob powder

The appropriate and acceptable dose of carob for use as treatment depends on several factors such as the age, health condition, and others conditions.

While carob is generally safe to use, there is however no sufficient scientific study that can tell that it is entirely safe for use at any dosage. Be sure to follow instructions as suggested in the product label or as suggested by your health provider.

Side effects

Carob is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth in food amounts or as a medicine. There don’t seem to be any unwanted side effects.

 Special Precautions & Warnings:
 Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking carob if you are pregnant or      breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use in greater than food amounts.
