Science & Research
A syrup-format hepatoprotective formula delivering five evidence-based liver-supportive botanicals in a liquid medium for rapid absorption and dosing flexibility. The syrup format provides 2-3× faster onset compared to capsule forms due to bypassing disintegration and dissolution steps. Kutki's picrosides serve as the hepatoprotective foundation through lysosomal membrane stabilization. Bhumi Amalaki's phyllanthin inhibits HBV DNA polymerase and HBsAg secretion. Kalmegh's andrographolides activate the Nrf2/ARE antioxidant response pathway. Bhringraj's wedelolactone supports hepatocyte regeneration. Kasni (Chicory) provides inulin-type prebiotic fiber and lactucopicrin with demonstrated choleretic and hepatoprotective activity. The liquid format is particularly suitable for elderly patients, children (with practitioner dosing guidance), and patients with dysphagia.
Clinical Key Functions
- Nrf2/ARE antioxidant response pathway activation from andrographolides*
- Choleretic activity promoting healthy bile synthesis from Kasni lactucopicrin*
- Flexible dosing suitable for elderly, pediatric, and dysphagia patients*

Ayurvedic Philosophy
This syrup format delivers Yakrit-Shodhaka (liver-purifying) herbs in a Kwatha-based (decoction-based) liquid medium, aligning with the Ayurvedic principle that liquid preparations (Drava Kalpana) provide faster onset than solid forms due to their Sukshma (subtle) and Sara (flowing) Gunas. The Yakrit is the Mulasthana (root site) of Raktavahasrotas and the seat of Ranjaka Pitta — vitiation here disrupts the transformation of Rasa Dhatu into Rakta Dhatu. Kutki's intensely Tikta Rasa is considered the single most important taste for Yakrit function. The combination of Bhumi Amalaki, Kalmegh, and Bhringraj provides comprehensive Yakrit Uttejana (liver stimulation), Pitta-rechana (Pitta elimination), and Yakrit-Poshana (liver nourishment) — addressing all three phases of hepatic treatment described in classical texts.
