In Ayurvedic medicine, natural sugars are necessary to the body. Along with the honey, ghee and sesame oil in HANAH ONE, raw unprocessed sugar serves as a catalytic agent (anupana) to carry the 30 herbs deep into body tissues and the brain. It also increases the tonic effect of the herbs and acts as a preservative (samvahaka dravya) which helps to safeguard the efficacy of the formula. Two teaspoons of HANAH ONE contain 6g of natural sugars. These all natural sugars come from wildcrafted honey and pure raw sugar cane. HANAH uses no refined sugars, ever. For reference, a medium peach has 13g of natural sugar and a medium apple has 19g.
