Chyawanprash is a revered Ayurvedic formula which has a range of health benefits.

It is excellent edible paste for nourishing the body and building immunity. Perfect for the colder season. The main ingredient is Amla (Indian Gooseberry), which has the highest quantity of Vitamin C on the planet.

Amla is also high in antioxidants, which reduce the effects of stress and the signs of ageing.
