The Only Non-Alcoholic Drink Tested by Longevity Scientists

Rasāsvāda Increased the Median Lifespan of C. elegans by Up to 32%.

We carefully formulated Rasāsvāda’s restorative drinks based on the latest ingredient research and thousands of years of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Then we scoured the world for the best-quality, ethically sourced plants. Finally, we created a one-of-a-kind process that gives our products a long shelf life —without using preservatives. But we didn’t stop there.

Why We Tested Rasāsvāda in a Longevity Study

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 Rasāsvāda on the health and survival of the small animal C. elegans, a gold-standard model used in longevity research. Ora Biomedical uses C. elegans to screen for gerotherapeutics with the potential to modify normal aging and age-related disease pathology in humans.

The result: Rasāsvāda increased the median lifespan of C. elegans by up to 32%, potentially qualifying them for additional studies in mammals.

Why Test on C. elegans?

C. elegans are widely recognized as a gold-standard model in aging research and are used by institutions like MIT, Caltech, and the NIH to study the biology of healthy aging.

Microscopic C. elegans only live about 20 days. That short lifespan makes them ideal for quickly screening interventions that may impact human healthspan – the length of time we live in good health.

Despite their size, C. elegans share many important genes and biological pathways with humans, including those related to aging and disease. They also share many of the same systems as humans including digestive, reproductive, muscular, and nervous systems.

What Does a 32% Increase Mean for Humans?

The short answer: We don’t know yet.

It’s much harder and more costly to test impacts on human healthspan and longevity since humans live so long. What we do know is that the unique combination of plants in Rasāsvāda shows a potential to benefit human healthspans.

Screening Rasāsvāda on C. elegans is an exciting first step in showing benefit to human healthspan. Stay tuned as we continue to test and explore ways to stay healthy as we age

Who Is Ora Biomedical and What Is Their Million Molecule Challenge?

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.

Science Advisory Board

We created Rasāsvāda to support real wellness. We don’t just believe in the power of plants, we’re committed to proving what they can do, and to making their benefits easier to access in everyday life.

To ensure our formulations reflect both ancient knowledge and cutting-edge insights into plant-based health, we’ve assembled a Science Advisory Board. This expert team in longevity research, neuroscience, and integrative nutrition guides our approach to ingredient sourcing, formulation, and research—bridging traditional wisdom with modern science.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rasāsvāda's ingredients are hand-gathered from pristine, remote regions around the world. By selecting wild-harvested plants, we ensure that the ingredients are grown in their natural environment, resulting in higher potency and purity. These untamed herbs, mushrooms, and spices carry ancient traditions and are revered for their powerful properties. We use 100% plants, with no preservatives or artificial ingredients.

Rasāsvāda is the only non-alcoholic spirit tested by longevity scientists. In recent studies with world-leading researchers at Ora Biomedical, Rasāsvāda restorative spirits increased the median lifespan of C. elegans—tiny, microscopic organisms commonly used in aging research—by up to 32%. This remarkable discovery aligns with our mission to craft beverages that nourish the body and mind.

Why test on C. elegans?

These organisms are commonly used in longevity research because their genetic and cellular processes closely resemble those of humans. With a natural lifespan of just 20 days, scientists can quickly assess potential longevity benefits. While much more testing is needed to understand the impact on humans, this is an exciting first step in the quest to identify natural compounds that could impact human health span.

Free from added sugars, preservatives, colorings, and artificial flavorings, Rasāsvāda offers a flavor profile deeply rooted in Eastern medicine and traditional Chinese herbal practices.

Black Ginger:

Bold, bittersweet, and deeply layered—Black Ginger combines earthy bitterness, warming spice, and roasted chicory with a rich, toasty depth reminiscent of dark coffee.

While not all of our ingredients are certified organic, we are committed to sourcing the highest-quality botanicals through our trusted partners at Rishi Tea & Botanicals.

Many of the small farmers we work with across the world follow sustainable, elevated agricultural practices but may not have the means to obtain costly organic certifications. Instead, we focus on ethical sourcing, building long-term relationships with farmers who cultivate ingredients with care and integrity.

Additionally, many of our botanicals are wild-harvested—meaning they are gathered directly from their natural habitats rather than being farmed or cultivated. These plants grow in untouched environments, free from pesticides and artificial fertilizers, absorbing nutrients directly from the soil and ecosystem. This often results in a more potent and nutrient-rich ingredient compared to farmed alternatives.

At Rasāsvāda, we carefully select the best micro-lots of wild-harvested herbs, adaptogens, and mushrooms, ensuring that each ingredient is at its peak potency and medicinal value. By sourcing from nature’s most pristine environments, we honor time-honored traditions of natural healing—delivering ingredients that support vitality and wellness, just as nature intended.
