In Ayurveda, chyawanprash is classified under the category of Rasayana, which is useful for general wellbeing, vitality and help in delaying ageing process.. Though, there are few studies available on the usefulness of chyawanprash in the cognitive functions however, studies on management of dementia in human beings are still inadequate. In the light of this, the present study was undertaken to explore the memory boosting potential of chyawanprash. 128 healthy college students (75 females and 53 males) were recruited from the students of various courses conducted in Little Flower Institute of Medical Sciences and Research. Chyawanprash was given orally in a dose of one teaspoon full (appox. 15 g) twice a day for 150 successive days to the subjects in the test group. On the basis of the study it may be concluded that chyawanprash is helpful in improving of cognition i.e. alertness, attention and concentration; well being and the academic performance for college students. Therefore, regular use of chyawanprash has a potential to build up academic performance of students.
