Various studies suggest that the primary cause of ageing of an organism is the free radical damage to membranes of the nerve cells. The attack of oxygen free radicals on fatty acids within the cellular membranes results in lipid peroxidation leading to the formation of the age pigment lipofuscin, which is directly related to the age of animals. Since active oxygen radicals have been proposed to be involved in the ageing process of the brain, alterations in the level of enzymes involved in the defense system against free radicals could substantially influence the ageing process.

In animal studies, Geriforte, an herbomineral formulation, has been reported to inhibit the formation of lipofuscin. Geriforte, exerts its age-reversing effects by inducing the production of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and catalase (CAT), two enzymes that dimutate oxygen free radicals and by inhibiting lipid peroxidation in old animals.

Geriforte, an herbomineral compound, includes a group of Rasayans such as Centella asiatica (Brahmi), Phyllanthus emblica (Ambla), Withania somnifera (Asvagandha) and Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi). Rasayans bring about balance in physiology, enhance immunity, and retard ageing. While the exact mechanism is not known it is surmised that the Rasayanic constituents of Geriforte act synergistically to induce the higher production of SOD and CAT which scavenge SOR and eliminate H2O2 respectively from the biological pathways.

Geriforte helps promote cellular regeneration, retard degeneration and enhances the body's immunity. Geriforte helps delay the physiological
changes associated with aging, revives physical capacity, raises
the threshold of fatigue and promotes well-being.

Cortisone injections are popular in the treatment of muscle and joint inflammatory reactions however they are also used to treat non-inflammatory tendon pain such as tennis elbow.

In a meta-analysis article in The Lancet - a premiere medical journal the effects of cortisone injections to placebo and other treatments were discussed. In 28 studies, when comparing synthetic corticosteroids to other treatments, it was found that corticosteroid benefits were only effective for a short period of time. In 3 studies while analysing corticosteroid use to no treatment for tennis elbow, it was found that corticosteroids offered pain relief for upto 8 weeks and caused increased pain after 6 months and 1 year. The cause is not certain but could be due to weakening of the internal structure of tendons.
