Ayurvedic Formulation Immunogrit Shows Promise in Slowing Cellular Aging, Study Finds
Recent research published in Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics suggests that the Ayurvedic formulation Immunogrit may possess significant anti-aging properties, bolstering the growing validation of traditional medicine through modern scientific methods. The study, conducted by a team from Patanjali, investigated the impact of Immunogrit on cellular aging and found promising results in laboratory settings.
The research highlights the connection between cellular aging and visible signs of aging, such as early wrinkles, thinning skin, and loss of elasticity, as well as potential impacts on mental and emotional wellbeing. Furthermore, cellular aging is linked to serious health concerns including heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
Researchers utilized the D-Galactose induced aging model, a recognized scientific method, to assess Immunogrit’s effects. D-Galactose, when reacted with proteins in cells, creates advanced Glycation End products (ages) which accelerate aging. When applied to human keratinocyte cells (skin cells), D-Galactose induced cellular senescence – a cessation of cell division and a sign of aging. However, the introduction of Immunogrit demonstrably maintained cell health and normal function.
The effectiveness of Immunogrit is believed to stem from its rich composition of plant-derived secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, phenols, tannins, and alkaloids. These compounds are known for their potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties,confirmed through advanced chemical analysis using techniques like HPTLC,UPLC/MS-QToF,and advanced molecular biology. The diversity of these phytochemicals is considered key to the formulation’s anti-aging effects.
“this is not just a herbal supplement-it is a scientifically validated Ayurvedic solution,” stated Dr. Varshney, emphasizing the convergence of traditional knowledge and scientific rigor. “It shows that when tradition and science come together, extraordinary outcomes are possible.”
while acknowledging that aging is a natural and inevitable process, the study suggests that its pace can be influenced by both internal factors like genetics and external factors such as sun exposure, pollution, diet, and exercise. The research team emphasizes that this laboratory study is a crucial first step, with future clinical trials on humans planned to determine Immunogrit’s efficacy in real-world applications. Triumphant trials could possibly led to Immunogrit becoming a mainstream therapy for not only skin aging, but also for the prevention of other age-related health conditions.
Ayurveda experts view this research as a significant milestone, strengthening the argument that traditional medicine is grounded in more than just belief, and marking a turning point in its acceptance within the global medical community.
