NEW DELHI: India’s largest ayurvedic consumer goods firm Dabur India has launched clinical trials to assess whether its flagship product Chyawanprash can boost immunity against the covid-19.
The open-label, randomised trial, which will be conducted at five sites across India over 6-8 months, will see whether Chyawanprash can prevent the fatal respiratory disease or reduce the severity of it, according to information provided by the Union government’s clinical trial registry.
From the five Ayurvedic hospitals included as sites for the trial, the company has so far received approval for the ethics committee of the National Institute of Ayurveda in Jaipur, Parul Ayurveda Hospital in Vadodara and Sumatibhai Shah Ayurved Mahavidyalaya in Pune,
