How the Ingredients Work

Gold and silver bhasmas are traditionally valued for their rejuvenative properties, supporting tissue regeneration and calming effects. Iron bhasma aids in maintaining healthy blood and energy levels, while mica bhasma strengthens the body’s structural integrity. Shilajit, rich in fulvic acid, exhibits antioxidant activity in lab studies, potentially protecting kidney cells from damage. Sulphur assists in cleansing metabolic waste, and copper pyrite bhasma supports mineral balance. Varuna decoction (Crataeva nurvala) is traditionally used for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, benefiting the kidneys and urinary flow.

Together, these ingredients are believed to balance Vata and Pitta doshas in the urinary system, supporting fluid metabolism and long-term kidney health.

Modern Research Highlights

  • Shilajit’s fulvic acid shows antioxidant effects that may protect kidney cells.
  • Crataeva nurvala extracts have demonstrated diuretic and anti-inflammatory activity in animal studies.
  • Individual bhasmas show bioavailability when prepared by classical Ayurvedic methods, but comprehensive clinical trials on the whole formula are lacking.

Storage

  • Keep the tablets in a cool, dry place.
  • Store in an airtight glass container away from sunlight and children.
