Kaleda Chyawanprash Avaleha vs Swamala Classic

This table shows what is in every 10 g of each:

What is ashtavarga?

Ashtavarga is a group of eight rare herbs. They grow high up in the Himalayas. Their names are riddhi, vriddhi, kakoli, ksheerkakoli, meda, mahameda, jivak and rishabhak. They give strength and help a thin body put on weight. These herbs are hard to find. So many brands use common herbs like ashwagandha and shatavari instead.

Which one should you choose?

Choose Kaleda if you want:

• A plain chyawanprash that the whole family can take every day
• The eight real ashtavarga herbs
• No bhasma or mineral of any kind
• A lower price

Choose Swamala Classic if you want:

• Brahmi for memory
• Safed musli for stamina
• Iron for low blood
• A little honey and kesar in the mix

For most families, Kaleda gives more value for the money, since for the price of 100 g of Swamala Classic, you can buy about 300 g of Kaleda.
