Evaluation of Comparative Efficacy of Vidarikandadi Churna and its Modified Dosage Form for Assessment of Growth, Strength, and Stamina in Albino Rats

Abstract

Vidarikandadi Churna (VC) is a Polyherbal formulation suggested for karshya that is also said to be beneficial for weight gain and development. Yogaratnakara mentions Vidarikandadi churna as a formulation. Many formulations are cited for their nootropic and antioxidant qualities. Vidarikandadi Churna is one of the preparations. Traditional meals are high in the nutrients that growing children require. On Wistar male rats, we conducted a research to examine the strength, stamina, and growth-promoting abilities of conventional supplements and traditional health supplements. Aim: Pharmaceutical analytical study of Vidarikandadi Churna and its modified dosage form and assessment of their comparative efficacy for Strength, Stamina, and Growth as compared to standard supplements in albino rats. Objectives: To assess and compare the strength, stamina, and growth parameters in VC, VB, and standard supplements. Material and Methods: A total of 30 Wistar male rats were used in the study. Five groupings of animals were formed. Except for the Normal control group, all of the rats were given health supplements. For 30 days, groups II, III, IV, and V received Milk, Complan, Vidarikandadi Churna, and Vidarikandadi Biscuits but no health supplement (control group). A swim endurance test was used to assess the strength and stamina of Wistar rats in each group, and growth was assessed by measuring body length and body weight. Observation and Results: A group of rats with the greatest development (body length and weight), strength, and stamina were studied. Group V rats had the most strength and stamina, followed by Group IV, Group III, and Group II rats. Group V rats gained the most, followed by groups IV, III, and II, in that order. Conclusion: In the current study, we discovered that group V rats had the most strength and stamina, followed by groups IV, III, and II, and that group V rats had the greatest growth, followed by groups IV, III, and II, respectively.
