Kutki is the rhizome of Picrorhiza kurroa, a small perennial of the higher Himalaya — the same kind of altitude sea buckthorn grows at. It is intensely bitter, which is what the name refers to.
It is the classical Ayurvedic liver herb, and the compounds usually named in research on it are the picrosides. It is also genuinely threatened in the wild through over-collection, which is worth knowing when you buy anything containing it.
What it is doing in these products
It appears in the liver formulations and in the detox juice.
