Juniper berry powder comes from dried, ground berries of *Juniperus communis*. The powder mixes into foods, teas, and capsules faster than whole berries. Cooks and supplement blenders often choose it for that convenience.
People traditionally reach for juniper to ease occasional bloating or water retention and to support urinary tract function. You will also find it flavoring meat dishes, sauces, and gin.
Take small amounts mixed with food or water, usually alongside a meal. Skip high doses, which can irritate the kidneys. This powder is not a replacement for medical care.
