Gas chromatography – Mass Spectrometry is the proven analytical method which is highly effective and versatile to identify different components in a ghee based samples. Objective: The present study deals with the Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis of Madhyama panchamoola sadhita ghrita. Materials and Methods: The Madhyamapanchamoola sadhita ghrita was prepared by following Ayurveda formulary of India with GMP certified company and subjected to GC–MS analysis. Results: GC-MS revealed total 19 compounds. Glycerol, Squalene, Lanosterol (Lupeol) were experimentally proved to have Antioxidant and Spermatogenic activities. Conclusion: The Phytochemical constituents identified in the GC–MS profile revealed Madhyama panchamoola sadhita ghrita has a potential Shukra janana activity.
