Summary
This study investigated the effect of oral feeding of an Ayurvedic rasayana (health-promoting/therapeutic herbal preparation) called Maharishi Amrit Kalash-4 (MAK-4) on metastasis of Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) in mice. The mice were fed either chow containing 3% MAK-4 or standard laboratory chow, and inoculated subcutaneously with LLC tumor cells. After 4-5 weeks, the animals receiving the MAK-4-supplemented chow had a 65% reduction (p<0.01) in the number of metastatic nodules, and a 45% reduction (p<0.01) in the size of the nodules, compared to the control group.
