Thank you for the response. Can we have Zenith along with Asthiposhak? Is there any side effects?
The old age condition of back stiffness on rising from sleep in the morning, is very effectively controlled by it.

Hello Sir. Please suggest us some good Ayurvedic medicine for the vegetarians to take care of bones/calcium deficiency. There must be medicines which don’t contain egg shells, kindly recommend any.
Hi, the medicines suggested looks good. Please go ahead.
You can take Vitamin D supplement along with it.
I see that Dhootapapeshwar’s Asthiposhak contains known carcinogens – Sodium methyl paraben and Sodium Propyl Paraben – as preservatives along with coloring agents Yellow Iron Oxide, Black iron oxide and Titanium dioxide. What’s your opinion on the consumption of these additives, doctor?
This is usually taken for a limited period of a few weeks time. So, the preservatives will not have much side effects.
Most of the tablets, syrups of Ayurveda contains parabens, in permissible limits.
I suffered insomnia after taking asthiposhak. Initially I experienced disturbed sleep occasionally. But then sleeplessness whole night. I was okay when discontinued this tablet.
can it be used for treatment of degenerated knee cartilage
Yes, useful.
