The science behind the blend

Why this combination

Amla delivers 10–17× more vitamin C than orange, bound to tannins that prevent oxidation — stable for hours after pressing. Cucumber provides a neutral, cooling base that dilutes the intense sourness. Ginger warmth balances the sour bite. This is the recipe Chyawanprash was based on — 3,000 years of Ayurvedic validation.

When to drink

Morning on empty stomach. During illness: 2× daily. For hair health: daily for 4–8 weeks. Drink through a straw — acidity can affect tooth enamel with daily use.

Flavour

Intensely sour-astringent from amla, cool cucumber base, warm ginger. An acquired taste — regular drinkers describe a 'clean' sensation after. First-timers need encouragement.
