Rasasvada Restorative Drinks – We Take Your Wellness Seriously
By Cynthia Short
We carefully formulated Rasasvada restorative drinks based on the latest ingredient research plus 1000’s of years of learnings from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Then we scoured the world for the best-quality ethically-sourced plants. Finally, we created a one-of-kind process giving our products a long shelf life WITHOUT using preservatives.
We didn’t stop there.
We wanted to make sure the combination of ingredients in our final formulas had a potentially synergistic impact on wellness. So we worked with world-leading longevity scientists at Ora Biomedical to test Rasasvada restorative drinks on the health and survival of the small animal C. elegans. Ora Biomedical uses C. elegans to screen for gerotherapeutics with the potential to modify normal aging and age-related disease pathology in humans. Rasasvada restorative spirits increased C. elegans median lifespan by up to 32% potentially qualifying them for additional studies in mammals. See detailed test results here.
Humans share around 2/3 of our genetic makeup with C.elegans. Microscopic C.elegans have very short lifespans, about 20 days, so they provide a quick way to screen for interventions that could potentially impact human healthspan – the length of time we live in good health.
The truth is we don’t really know. It’s much harder and more costly to test impacts on human healthspan and longevity since humans live so long. Screening Rasasvada on C.elegans is just a first step in showing benefit to human healthspan. What we do know is the unique combination of ingredients in our drinks shows a potential to benefit human healthspans. Stay tuned as we continue to test and explore ways to stay healthy as we age.
Aging is the greatest predisposing factor to the chronic illnesses and diseases that limit quality lifespan and ultimately lead to death. Targeting the underlying mechanisms of aging using gerotherapeutics holds the promise to extend both maximal lifespan and increase the number of years spent in good health. Founded by world-leading longevity scientists, Ora Biomedical sets themselves apart in longevity biotechnology by having the largest preclinical drug screening operation of its kind. This is made possible with their automated high-throughput robotics platform combined with state-of-the-art AI-based data analysis. Their goal is to screen 1 million different drugs and natural ingredients to find the next breakthrough in human healthspan and longevity.

A bracingly bitter take on a dark classic.
Bittersweet and herbaceous, Black Ginger is our most assertive decoction, serving up a complex, palate-provoking profile.
Aromatic bitter roots and barks such as black ginger, dark roasted chicory, and cinchona are complimented by cardamom, saffron, and red turmeric that add a piquant intensity and depth of long lasting flavor.
To balance the bitterness, we forgo sugars and syrup—instead, using rarified mushrooms, fermented lemons, and pomegranates, together delivering viscosity and a citrus bite.
Other than providing a complex and deeply satisfying taste, the herbs, mushrooms, and spices in Black Ginger have ancient histories of libido, mood boosting, and rapid fatigue recovery properties.
