The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Patanjali Ayurved Limited promoted by yoga guru Ramdev, have decided to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to market array of herbal products developed by the DRDO’s Life Sciences wing - Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR). In the last few years, it has also started working on health products with high nutritional values. The DRDO is seeking to leverage Patanjali’s wide reach to market its herbal products. “Patanjali has wider network in the country and therefore we think DRDO will benefit with the former in taking its products to the masses” said Sashibala Singh. According to DRDO, seabuckthorn has high nutritional values and is a good food supplement as it has very high anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals.
