WHAT IS TINOFEND^® TINOSPORA CORDIFOLIA STEM EXTRACT?

Tinospora cordifolia is a Rasayana—the category of elixirs and tonic herbs prized by the branch of Ayurvedic medicine concerned with rejuvenation and focused on promoting a youthful state of physical and mental health. In India, it is commonly called Amrita, which translates as immortality, Guduchi, which translates as that which protects the entire body, or Giloe, which means heavenly elixir [1,2]. T. cordifolia is considered to be a mental rejuvenator (Madhya Rasayana); one of its traditional uses were tonic to counter mental fatigue and improve thinking. T. cordifolia was also believed to function as an adaptogen, supporting resistance to and recovery from stress. Many of its traditional uses revolved around immunity, especially in supporting balanced immune function. T. cordifolia contains a range of active compounds including polysaccharides and bitter compounds [3–6].*

TINOFEND^® TINOSPORA CORDIFOLIA STEM EXTRACT DOSING PRINCIPLES AND RATIONALE

Because Tinospora cordifolia is an Ayurvedic Rasayana herb, we consider dosing to follow hormetic principles similar to herbal adaptogens (see Neurohacker Dosing Principles). Herbal adaptogens tend to have a hormetic zone (or range) where there’s a favorable biological response. It’s important to be in this zone. Based on studies where different doses have been given in the same study, we consider Tinofend® dosing to be somewhat akin to the Pareto Principle (i.e., 80-20 rule), because much of the benefits have occured at a lower dose. In human studies, Tinofend^®, a standardized Tinospora cordifolia stem extract, has been given in doses ranging from 150 to 900 mg. Our dosage of Tinofend^® will be consistent with the studied dosage range.*
