Amrit Herbal tablets

Post Reply New Topic

Has any of you heard of or taking Amrit Nectar and Amrit Ambrosia to help with moods and anxiety? I was reading a book I got to understand more about aspergers for my wife, and they brought this up. I have never heard of them before to be honest.

If any of you take them what are your thoughts on them? Do they help? Have any of you even heard of them?

Thanks,

I've looked at it, and it looks like an awful lot to pay for what is basically... food. That's about it. Fruit, vegetables, some spices, sugar (go figure)...

Lots of these "nutritional supplement" companies will sell you stuff that is basically harmless, but way overpriced and won't really do anything more than a normal diet could do for you. This looks like just another example of that.

I use Chinese herbals and some inexpensive Ayurvedic products to help with irritability or moodiness. It's best to consult with a practitioner to get the right fit, though. That product you mentioned seemed awfully pricey. And, it is simply a more expensive version of Chywanprash, which can be had for under ten dollars if you buy at an Indian grocery store.

They are sold as dietary supplements, and are thus not regulated by the FDA.

While this may be attractive to some, such as those who hate "Big Pharma", it actually means that the potency of the supplements can vary widely between production runs, batches, containers, and even individual doses. It also means that there may be some non-herbal substances that were introduced during the cultivation process - substances like pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, and even industrial waste (ie, Adhesives, Paints, Petroleum Distillates, Solvents, et cetera) or common metals (ie, Antimony, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead, Selenium, et cetera).

If there is also no record of clinical testing, such as one would use to determine the minimum effective dose, the minimum toxic dose, and synergy with other substances (ie, Drugs, Foods, et cetera), then you are taking on an unknown risk without recourse to restitution.

If you want to spend your money on a "Good Faith" product - one that offers only subjective testimony to support claims of efficacy - then that is your choice.

Personally, I'd rather spend my money on something that has been proven to actually work.

Thanks everyone for your information. I prob won't spend the money on it based on all your feedback. Id rather be safe and use something that's been proven. Just something I read in one of the aspie books and thought it was worth bringing up since I never heard of it.

Sorry for the late response. Our local fair is going on so have not been online much this week.

Or, ya know, just raid the produce section of the grocery store and dispense with the pills and potions altogether.
