“…As cow urine consists of 95% water, 2.5% urea, minerals 24 types of salts, hormones and 2.5% enzymes it is considered to be non-toxic. Other than that cow urine also contains iron, calcium, phosphorous, carbonic acid, potash, nitrogen, ammonia, manganese, sulfur, phosphates, urea, uric acid, amino acids, cytokine and phenolic acids and so on [14][15][16] .…”

Background and Objective: The current "-amylase and "-glucosidase inhibitors in clinical use such as acarbose, miglitol and voglibose are associated with undesirable side effects such as hypoglycemia, flatulence and diarrhoea due to the inhibitory effect of gastrointestinal digestion which limits their use in the treatment of diabetes when compared to the active principles of plant origin. This study explores the antidiabetic enhancing property of Alternanthera sessilis with cowʼs urine as compared to aqueous extract. Materials and Methods: The aqueous and cowʼs urine extract of Alternanthera sessilis was prepared by maceration and both extracts were subjected for in vitro "-amylase inhibitory activity. The obtained data were compared and analysed by MS office excel. Results: Cow urine has enhanced the time of hydrolysis of starch by "-amylase, which in turn exhibited an inhibitory effect on the "-amylase enzyme. Conclusion:From the research work it was revealed that cowʼs urine extract shows promising "-amylase inhibitory activity compared to aqueous extract. The cowʼs urine distillate as a solvent for the extraction and compare the "-amylase inhibitory activity of cowʼs urine extract with aqueous extract and analyze the bio-enhancing effect on bio-active principles of aqueous extract.

The use of cow urine (CU) in treating a variety of illness can be traced back to ancient ages. It has been referred as an important and integral component of Cowpathy – an age-old practice in Indian sub-continent since the Vedic period (1500 BC – 600 BC). The CU contains several important compounds that are essential in maintaining a balance between the well-being of human and the nature. It is composed of about 95 % water and other useful ingredients such as urea, hormones, lyase enzyme, and salts containing Fe, Ca, P, Mn, S, N, and K. In addition, it also contains lactose, cytokine, and amino acid which are the fundamental building blocks of protein. Researchers have developed various processes for the green synthesis of CU concentrate and evaluated its usefulness in treating various diseases owing to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Further, CU has also shown promising immunity boosting and anti-oxidant characteristics. Even though human civilization has benefited from the use of CU in treating various types illness but the modern scientific understanding of the cause-effect relationships was partly developed in the last few decades. There exists a huge knowledge gap and a comprehensive study on exploring the science and application of CU hasn’t been reported. This paper reviews the historical perspective, compositional analysis, processing, applications, knowledge gap, and future research required in the field of therapeutic usage of CU.
