K.G.101 (Ksheeraguloochi 101) is an Ayurvedic patent product manufactured by Sitaram Ayurveda Private Ltd. Thrissur, Kerala. This is widely used by practitioners in the management of joint disorders. To explain this mechanism of action, the knowledge of biomedical compounds in the product is mandatory. The present study deals with the Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of K.G.101 to explain its medicinal value. This type of study is the need of the hour for better scientific validation and a new approach to the treatment. The Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric profile indicated the presence of nearly 39 molecules. Most compounds show anti-inflammatory potential, which explains their action in inflammatory joint disorders. The antioxidant property of the compounds explains their rejuvenating property. Some compounds show anti-cancerous activity also, which yet has to be explored.
