Ghanvati, satva, tablet or capsule: which form of giloy?

Ghanvati (or ghan bati) is the classical form: a water extract of the stem, dried and pressed into a tablet, so each tablet is more concentrated than a plain powdered-stem tablet. Dabur, Patanjali, Baidyanath and Zandu all make one, and they are the cheapest giloy products on the site per tablet. Giloy satva is the traditional starch preparation, a fine white powder taken with water; Baidyanath’s is sold in capsules. Plain tablets and capsules (Himalaya Guduchi, Jiva, Organic India) contain the powdered stem or a standardised extract in a modern format — Organic India’s is certified organic and Himalaya’s is standardised to a fixed extract strength. Combination products such as the Tulsi Amla Giloy capsule pair giloy with other Ayurvedic herbs. In classical texts giloy is described as a rasayana (rejuvenative) and is traditionally taken in the morning with warm water.

Which giloy brand should I buy?

For the lowest price per tablet choose Patanjali Divya Giloy Ghanvati Advance or Baidyanath Guduchyadi Ghan Bati. For a heritage classical maker choose Dabur or Baidyanath. For a standardised extract with a fixed strength choose Himalaya Guduchi. For certified-organic, vegetarian capsules choose Organic India. All twelve are genuine Indian-market packs, batch lab-tested for heavy metals and microbial contamination before listing, and every product page shows the pack count so you can compare cost per dose.
