Abstract

Three herbal formulations namely, Amla, Ashwagandha and Shatavari Capsules, were examined for general test parameters, at different production stages, and a few basic nutritive test parameters. The general test parameters and assays were found to be satisfactory and the nutritive values were found to be quite significant. This proves that the three formulations can be used as herbal medicines, and the significant nutritive values prove that they can be used as dietary supplements.
