Sanatogen was supposed
to be a brain tonic and Shri Nathji had a high word of praise for it. A German
doctor had told Shri Nathji about Sanatogen and Shri Nathji had been using it
for years saying:
“Even Judges use the
tonic for their heavy brainwork”
At that time Medical
Science had not advanced sufficiently at that time to know of the reasons for
efficacy of Sanatogen, research done many years later revealed that Shri Nathji
had been right. Sanatogen was good for the brain because it was a protein powder
containing all the essential amino acids, which were necessary for the
regeneration of brain cells.
Shri Nathji was very
fond of Sanatogen. He would dutifully dissolve this white powder into water. And
make out a tasty wholesome drink for His children and for Himself every night.
He would explain how the powder the water had to be poured into the powder
while stirring all the white so that it would not coagulate into lumps and show
the children how it was done until a clear milk like liquid was obtained. Later
the children will try to imitate him, with uncertain results and, always came
out with lumps in the final concoction.
Perhaps the
manufactures of Sanatogen under stood that it is difficult to perfectly mix Sanatogen
powder with water to get a perfect lump free liquid. Thus in late 1950’s
Sanatogen tonic wine was introduced, made by the traditional blending of
full-bodied Ruby British wine with special Sanatogen formula to produce the
unique mellow flavour of Sanatogen tonic wine. This was very popular in the
west.
As with all products
that Shri Nathji used, Sanatogen become a very popular tonic and many firms
started manufacturing it. I have shown a picture of old packing of Sanatogen
powder in small packing from late 1950’s. Also it was heavily advertised. It
was one of the first products to be advertised on commercial Television. I have
given the link of a 10 second TV advertisement of Sanatogen which is one of the
oldest TV commercials:
Sanatogen is still
popular and in available is manufactured in India principally by Bayer.
