- Seller accountability matters to you
This listing sells 100 g of Akarkara root powder under a literal Generic brand name at $0.302 per gram - three and a half times the price of the cheapest genuine powder in the field. There is no processing detail, no origin statement, and no brand to hold accountable - and no photo in this listing shows a legible Supplement Facts panel, so we could not verify any of it against the actual label either. We include it because our ranking covers every genuine Akarkara listing on US Amazon, and the honest summary is: there is no reason to choose it over any product ranked above it.
How we built the SAC Product Score™ — 3.7/10
Label identity & botanical naming30%3/10
The listing names Anacyclus pyrethrum and the common name Akarkara ('Pellitory Roots') in the title - but no photo in this listing shows a legible label, so we could not confirm any of it actually appears on the package itself. Score reflects unverified listing text, not confirmed label transparency.
Processing transparency25%3/10
The listing claims '100% pure' and nothing else - already the least specific processing claim in the field - and with no legible label photo anywhere in this listing we could not check even that against the actual panel. Treated as an unverified seller claim, scored at the field's unverified-label floor.
Dose reproducibility20%4/10
Loose powder, no standardisation - the category-wide 4.0 on dose control.
Cost per gram15%3/10
$0.302 per gram is 3.5 times the field floor - the worst value we measured.
Availability10%7.5/10
In stock on our checks, which is the only criterion it scores respectably on.

What our test actually found
01Label not verifiable: no legible Supplement Facts photo in this listing
We checked every image in this Generic-brand Amazon listing on Sep 7, 2026 and found no legible Supplement Facts or ingredient panel for this product - only a front-label fragment showing a dosage line. We can confirm what the listing's title claims - botanical name Anacyclus pyrethrum, common name Akarkara, package size, price - but not what is actually printed on the physical package. Every label reference below has been rewritten to reflect that: these are listing claims, not confirmed label reads.
02The price makes no sense
At $30.17 per 100 g this costs more than bixa BOTANICAL's more fully described 198 g tin. We could not construct a scenario where it wins.
03Generic means unaccountable
With no brand there is no reputation at stake and no customer-service chain - a real risk difference on an ingestible product.
