Brahma Rasayan - worth exploring?

[JayPwP]

Brahma rasayana is an incredible cognitive and memory booster, that works positively to enhance mood and cognition. It helps to increase performance, thinking and analytic skills, intelligence, and memory. Packed with vitamin C and bioflavonoids exert potent antioxidant activity in the body. It aids to prevent detrimental toxins from damaging brain cells and preserve brain and neurons from degeneration. It is an excellent supplement that prevents deterioration of cognitive functions in people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological disorders.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like so much sales/marketing poppycock taking advantage of vulnerable minds.

[JayPwP in reply to MarionP]

Well there's ample research....

Also the formulation for Brahma Rasayana is mentioned in Charak Samhita, a 200 BCE Ayurveda foundational book by Charak, hence Brahma Rasayan cannot be patented.

I have started taking 2 tsp. on empty stomach from today morning. I have no intention of selling Brahma Rasayan

“sales/marketing poppycock taking advantage of vulnerable minds.” this statement would be more appropriate if referring to the pharma industry than Ayurveda. I’m obviously not against pharmaceuticals. But, to think Ayurveda has a monopoly on “sales / marketing poppycock” is to be easily duped. Thank you Jay for introducing me to this. I look forward to reading more about it.

Big call. Any evidence of this?

[JayPwP in reply to kevowpd]

Evidence = clinical trials?

Not patentable = no investment = no clinical trials = no 'evidence' ☺️

I am not defending anything here.

People who want to try this for 6 months are welcome.

People who don't want to try are also welcome ☺️

[kevowpd in reply to JayPwP]

So "no", then.

It's a myth that interventions that can't be patent protected never attract the necessary interest and funding for trials.

[Hidden in reply to kevowpd]

Do you have examples? Niacin at a university in Augusta GA comes to mind. Cinnamon which I think was in Asia. PD exercise related trial from which they recommend we exercise a prescribed minimum. Keto diet in NZ. All very small trials and I can think of no others.

What others are there?
