AbstractProcessed shilajit (PS), consisting of resonance stabilized soft-spin semiquinone free radicals, has been shown to produce free radical scavanging and antioxidant effects against SO3-and OH radicals and the paramagnetic nitric oxide (NO) depending on the concentration of PS. Agents that can regulate uncontrolled production and function of such biogenic free radicals would conceivably provide cellular protection and revitalization to recipients. The results obtained in this study offer a suitable rationale for the rasayan (revitalizer) effects of shilajit as claimed in Ayurveda.
