Published Clinical Study in Adolescents Living With HIV
CHOCOHERB was evaluated in a published clinical study in the International Journal of AYUSH.
The study involved adolescents aged 11-18 years living with HIV. The experiment was to assess whether the Ayurvedic multi-herb nutritional formulation could support measurable improvements in physical growth markers and general health status under medical supervision.
HIV impacts the immune system, particularly CD4 cells (a type of immune cell that fights infection).
Adolescents living with HIV often face:
Nutritional support is considered foundational in promoting overall health in medically vulnerable populations.
The evaluation was conducted in a hospital environment under medical supervision.
Participants continued their regular antiretroviral therapy (standard HIV treatment) while receiving the herbal granule formulation.
Routine laboratory investigations were conducted to rule out other medical conditions.
"Statistically significant results indicate that the observed changes were unlikely due to chance"
The authors concluded that overall general health status observed improvement in the study population. The findings suggest that the formulation may support overall nutritional and general health status in the observed population.
The information presented here summarizes findings from a preliminary cilinical evalution. The product is a nutritional formulation and is not intented to dignose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
CHOCOHERB is designed as a multi-herb Ayurvedic formulation. It integrates specific herbs traditionally acknowledged for their health-promoting properties, backed by documented scientific literature. The study evaluates these clinical areas.
(Statistically significant) means the changes were unlikely due to chance.
CD4 cell counts (a key immune marker) were monitored throughout the study period. — Internal Data Monitoring
This was a preliminary clinical evaluation conducted under medical supervision, to initially investigate safety and efficacy. Further well-controlled trials would strengthen broader scientific understanding.
