Let me introduce you to a few more incredible ingredients found in lavangadi vati. It contains two more compounds: piperine and ß-sitosterol. Piperine may have a wide range of benefits, including its hepatoprotective (liver-protective) activities. On the other hand, ß-sitosterol might offer its own set of advantages, such as its anti-hypercholesterolemic (cholesterol-lowering) property. With these impressive properties, lavangadi vati may become even more beneficial for your overall health.
