Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar recently shared details about a potent Ayurvedic laddoo he consumes, which contains apricot tree gum. During an appearance on a survival show, Kumar offered the laddoo to the host, describing it as a powerful daily supplement.

She also advised caution regarding the calorie and sugar content, especially for individuals managing diabetes or heart conditions.
Raj further stressed that pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with existing medical conditions, should consult a healthcare professional before regular consumption. She cautioned against assuming safety due to natural origins or traditional use, especially with limited research on apricot tree gum.
