Some research also says that it helps in bone strengthening and thus recommended during pregnancy and lactation. However, more research in this field is needed. Gond Ladoos are quite often served to lactating mothers as it is considered as a galactagogue. While edible gum aids in supporting the new mum’s bones, the ghee from these ladoos are considered to help in providing the much needed energy and lubricating the joints as well. However, these ladoos are calorie laden too. Hence should be consumed in moderation.
