Abstract

Ayurveda a great life science  provides many Novel concepts like Rasayan,Vajikaran. Chyawanprash, is one of the  Rasayan, used as   antiageing process and is being used since ages, but  still the standardization is lacking  , The present study is aimed to standardize Chyawanprash for estimation of Nutritional components present in it by sophisticated analytical tools. The study shows that it contains maximum Iron which is, in fact, more than recommended daily allowances and Fat is less than 0.1% and other nutritional components as per table 2. This validates the claim that it can be given to patients with heart diseases. Vitamin C present in Raw Amlaki was 447 mg/100 gm, which substantially reduced after processing which was reduced to 7.25 mg/100 gm. Phosphorous detected was 77 gm/100 gm. There was no presence of heavy metals detected. Hence these parameters and the developed methods may be considered as a tool for assistance to the scientific organization and the manufacturers in developing standards for Chwawanprash.
