Chyavanaprash - Ayurvedic Fortifier
What is chyavanaprash?
According to a study reported in 2019,1 here is what this popular traditional Indian bioactive health supplement consists of:
- Chyawanprash (or Chyavanaprash) is an Ayurvedic health supplement made from a super-concentrated blend of nutrient-rich herbs and minerals.
- It is intended to restore depleted reserves of vital energy and to preserve strength, endurance, and vitality, while slowing down the aging process.
- Chyawanprash is formulated from medicinal herbs and their extracts, with the main ingredient being Amla (Indian gooseberry), which is the richest source of vitamin C in the world.
- The preparation of Chyawanprash involves decocting herbs, followed by the preparation of a dried extract, then mixing it with honey and adding powdered aromatic herbs (clove, cardamom and cinnamon).
- The finished product has a fruit jam-like consistency and a sweet, sour, and spicy flavor.
- Considered by many experts as an essential health supplement, Chyawanprash has existed for centuries. It has multiple health benefits and has been widely used since ancient times as a dietary supplement and medicine to boost immunity and longevity.
- Chyawanprash has been a part of every Indian's life since the day it was introduced.
- It was one of the most cherished foods for its anti-aging effects long before the advent of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant supplements.
- While highlighting the abundance of ancient therapeutic claims of Chyawanprash, as well as their validation by available scientific evidence, the reported evidence supports its multiple preventive advantages, promotional, and curative health benefits, proving that it is an ancient elixir with a modern treatment.
- However, it is reported that studies and clinical reports are still insufficient and that despite the traditional implementation of Ayurvedic medicine and the reported evidence of efficacy, it would be necessary to conduct controlled experiments on the effect of the main active compounds and their effects in order to learn more about their mechanism of action.
- In summary, Chyawanprash is the quintessential Ayurvedic superfood that would strengthen the immune system and revitalize the psychosomatic system, a superior health tonic, nutritious, safe, and beneficial for all age groups and genders.
