Summary

Sweetened with sucralose and prepared with 52% amla, Mishry quite liked this sweet-sour-tasting Chyawanprash. The only drawback was the addition of preservative in Zandu Kesari Jivan Fit for Diabetic Chyawanprash.

Chyawanprash, the herbal jam, is known to improve health markers inside-out. From better digestion to stronger immunity, Chyawanprash is made with ghee, sugar, honey, amla, sesame oil, herbs, and spices.
