Did not take the beaten path
When popular approach to promote traditional medicines has been one of taking refuge under the origins of the system of medicine being thousands of years ago, Dr. JRK’s Research and Pharmaceuticals set its vision to deviate from the beaten path in going through the test of reason and subjecting its formulations to some of the most modern analysis and evaluation.
The outcomes not only validated the hypothesis of the efficacy of traditional medicines but more importantly opened the doors for the products being accepted and actively considered by medical practitioners across systems of medicines and through them a wider section of patients for whom the benefits may never have reached.
Getting started with no precedence
Unlike large pharmaceutical companies of the modern systems of medicines that have access to large resources and a huge global market that is ready to absorb high product prices, the sheer lack of precedence and the availability of sufficient independent published academic and scientific studies of international standards has always been a shortcoming in traditional medicines.
So much has to start from the basics and much of it is voluntary as the regulatory requirements for decades never insisted on the same.
But at Dr JRK’s Research and Pharmaceuticals evaluation and test of reason started from its inception in the year 1992.
Every product from the company goes through a multifold test of reason
