Summary
In this study on the in vitro inhibition of human LDL oxidation, the rasayanas (health-promoting herbal mixtures) MAK-4, MAK-5, MA-631, and Maharishi Coffee Substitute, were compared to the antioxidants vitamin C, vitamin E, and probucol (an antioxidant drug). All four rasayanas showed more than a 1000-fold greater inhibition of cupric ion-catalyzed LDL oxidation, as compared to vitamin C, vitamin E, and probucol (p<0.0001).
