Trost Alternative
Kushiva and The Trost both sell doctor-routed, AYUSH-framework cannabis formats in India. The differences that can be checked are price and self-serve tools: a 30 ml oil at Rs 2,490 versus Trost's 800 mg oil at Rs 4,499 (checked July 2026), a batch certificate of analysis, and free tools that handle dosing arithmetic and format choice.
- Oils from Rs 1,199

Is Kushiva a good Trost alternative?
Kushiva is the cheaper alternative to The Trost on oils and a close match on gummies. A 30 ml Kushiva oil is Rs 2,490 against Rs 4,499 for Trost's 800 mg Stress Buster oil, and the entry oil is Rs 1,199 (July 2026). On gummies the two are closer: Kushiva's pack of ten is Rs 3,550 against Trost's Kosha range of Rs 2,001 to Rs 3,999. Both brands are prescription-routed and both operate under the AYUSH framework.

What is actually in the bottle
- Made in a GMP and ISO-certified facility. Manufacturing standards govern how consistently a batch is produced — the difference between a formulation that behaves the same way every time and one that does not.
- Full-spectrum leaf extract, not an isolate. The leaf’s natural compound profile is retained rather than stripped down to a single molecule.
- An MCT carrier oil, not a filler oil. Our oils are a 20% Vijaya leaf extract carried in MCT. Carrier choice is the quietest quality decision in this category and the one buyers rarely check.
- Standardised strength, stated as a number. 200 mg per ml on the label, and 350 mg of standardised leaf extract per gummy — not a ratio you have to convert, and not a range.
- Gummies with no added sugar. A cola-flavoured, portioned format that does not carry a confectionery sugar load with it.
- Flavoured because extract is not pleasant. Mint in the oil, cola in the gummies. This matters more than it sounds when something is taken daily.
- Blister-packed, one dose per cell. Portioning is hygiene and dose control at the same time.
Every figure above is printed on the approved label, so you can check it against the pack rather than take our word for it.
Brands label actives in different units, so the table compares price, proof and process — not potency. Amounts belong with the approved label and a registered medical practitioner. Prices and policies as listed on 16 July 2026; sources below.
The money
What you actually pay
02Oils are where the gap opens. Trost's 800 mg Stress Buster oil is listed at Rs 4,499; Kushiva's 30 ml bottle is Rs 2,490 and the 10 ml entry bottle is Rs 1,199. Gummies are much closer, and honestly so: Trost's Kosha gummies span Rs 2,001 to Rs 3,999 depending on variant, against Rs 3,550 for a Kushiva pack of ten. The labelling differs again - Trost states milligrams per gummy of its formulation, Kushiva states 350 mg of standardised leaf extract per gummy, which is 13% of the gummy's weight.
| Product | Size | Price | Strength on the label | Works out at |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cannabis leaf extract oil | 10 ml | Rs 1,199 | 200 mg/ml | Rs 120 per ml |
| Cannabis leaf extract oil | 30 ml | Rs 2,490 | 200 mg/ml | Rs 83 per ml |
| Cannabis gummies | Pack of 10 | Rs 3,550 | 350 mg per gummy | Rs 355 per gummy |
| Full-spectrum enriched extract | 5 g | Rs 3,500 | Concentrated extract | Rs 700 per gram |
Prices are inclusive of GST, so the figure on the product page is the figure you pay. The right-hand column is arithmetic on the listed price, not a dosing suggestion — how much to take belongs with the approved label and a registered medical practitioner.

The process
How ordering from Kushiva works
03Pick a format, or let the quiz pick one
Oils let you adjust a drop at a time; gummies are pre-portioned; the enriched extract is concentrated. If you are not sure, the free format-finder quiz asks a handful of questions and points at one. Nothing is charged at this stage.
Upload a prescription, or let us arrange the consultation
The Trost sells prescription-based AYUSH-certified formulations, so you will meet a doctor step there too. At Kushiva you can order first and then either upload a prescription you already hold or take a consultation we arrange; the order waits until that clears. A prescription issued for a Trost purchase is valid here, because it was written by a registered practitioner. Our gummies buyer guide covers what to check on any brand.
A doctor reviews the order before it is packed
This is the step most buyers do not realise happens. Whether you uploaded a prescription or took the arranged consultation, an in-house doctor looks at the order before dispatch. If something does not add up — a format that does not fit the request, an interaction worth flagging — we contact you rather than ship it. Our guide to Vijaya and other medicines covers the interactions that come up most often.
It ships in 3 to 5 working days with a GST invoice
Packaging is discreet and unbranded on the outside. A GST invoice is issued on every order, which matters if you are claiming it or simply want a paper trail. Prices are inclusive of GST, so the figure on the product page is the figure you pay. Delivery terms are set out in the refund and return policy.

Switching over
Moving from Trost: what changes
05
Gummy strength is stated differently
Trost quotes milligrams per gummy of its own formulation. Kushiva quotes 350 mg of standardised leaf extract per gummy, which is 13% of the gummy's weight and printed on the approved label. The two figures are not on the same scale, so do not read one as stronger than the other.
Oils get considerably cheaper
Rs 2,490 for 30 ml against Rs 4,499 for the 800 mg Stress Buster oil. If oil is your main format rather than gummies, that is the clearest difference between the two on oils.
You ask for the lab document rather than browsing it
Trost puts COAs on its product pages. Kushiva holds a batch certificate for every batch and can share it. Which you prefer depends on whether you would rather browse the document or simply know it exists.
Where they win
When Trost is the better buy
06The Trost's higher-potency gummy variants and wider smokeable hemp range are genuine differentiators, and its COAs sit on each product page where you can find them without asking. If you want a stronger gummy than 350 mg of extract, or you want to browse lab documents before contacting anyone, Trost has the edge.
Comparison pages are usually written by the winner, so treat this one the same way you would treat theirs: check the figures. Every price here is dated and sourced at the foot of the page, and if one is wrong we would rather fix it than defend it.
Straight answer
What we can promise, and what we cannot
07We cannot promise it will do anything for you.
Nobody honestly can. Responses differ, and a seller who guarantees an outcome is telling you what you want to hear rather than what is true.
We can promise the label is the truth.
The 350 mg printed on the gummy is 13% of a 2,700 mg gummy, which works out at 351 mg on the batch certificate. The label and the document agree, and that is arithmetic you can check.
We can promise what carries it.
A 20% Vijaya leaf extract in an MCT carrier oil, not a filler oil. Full-spectrum rather than an isolate. Gummies with no added sugar, blister-packed one dose per cell.
We can promise a doctor sees it before you do.
Every order is reviewed in-house before it is packed. If something does not fit, we contact you instead of shipping it.
You are not really buying a bottle. You are buying the certainty of knowing exactly what is inside it, who checked it, and what it cost — on something you may take a few hundred times a year. We have done everything in our power to make sure what reaches you is exactly what we said it would be. The rest belongs with the approved label and your doctor.
