He mentioned using Ayurvedic herbs like Vidarikandaand Ashwagandha, mixed with ghee and sugar, to help build muscle.There have been no evidence-based studies conducted to demonstrate the combined anabolic activity of Vidarikandaand Ashwagandha in increasing muscle mass. Therefore, the herbs were evaluated in the present study.
