A comprehensive review on Gulvel (Tinospora Cordifolia)

Abstract

Tinospora Cordifolia, also known as Gulvel or Guduchi, is a medicinal Ayurvedic plant noted for its immune-modulating, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and adaptogen properties. The medical usefulness is restricted due to unequal absorption and a scarcity of standardized formulations. This researchers attempted to create a stable, efficient formulation that would increase Gulvel's pharmacological efficacy. The bioactive components of Gulvel stems, including as tannins, alkaloids, glycosides and flavonoids, were extracted using hydroalcoholic methods. The extract was then transformed into dosage forms as pills, capsules and solutions utilizing appropriate pharmaceutical excipients. The formulations were tested for antioxidant activity, microbiological stability, disintegration profiles and physical qualities such as moisture content, hardness and friability.
