Patanjali Ayurved is a well-known Indian company co-founded by Baba Ramdev and Balkrishna in 2006. It specializes in manufacturing a wide range of products. Its recent production became a reason for Yoga guru Baba Ramdev to grab attention online. Well, it all started after a video began circulating where Baba Ramdev was seen running alongside a horse.

In the clip, Ramdev confidently matched the horse’s pace, attributing his remarkable stamina and fitness to Patanjali’s Swarna Shilajit and Immunogrit Gold. He claimed that consuming these products could help people achieve strong immunity, anti-ageing benefits, and enhanced physical power. Accompanying the video, he wrote,

“Ghode ki tarah tez daudne ki taakat, strong immunity, anti-aging aur power chahiye toh Swarna Shilajit avam Immunogrit Gold khaaiye. (If you want the strength to run like a horse, strong immunity, anti-ageing benefits, and power, then consume Swarna Shilajit and Immunogrit Gold).”

Both products are of course manufactured by Patanjali Ayurved. By showcasing his own physical capabilities in the now-viral video, Baba Ramdev attempted to highlight the effectiveness of these products, reinforcing Patanjali’s long-standing claims about natural wellness.

Amidst all this, anti-ageing millionaire Bryan Johnson reacted to the video by challenging it.

Bryan Johnson questioned Baba Ramdev’s claims but gets blocked instead

Anti-ageing millionaire Bryan Johnson, known for his ambitious Project Blueprint aimed at reversing ageing, reacted strongly to Baba Ramdev’s viral video of racing alongside a horse. While Ramdev credited his stamina and fitness to Patanjali’s Swarna Shilajit and Immunogrit Gold, Johnson challenged these claims by pointing out the poor air quality in Haridwar, where Patanjali is based.

“Air quality in Haridwar right now is PM₂.₅ 36 µg/m³ which is equal to smoking 1.6 cigarettes a day. “

Johnson further explained that prolonged exposure to this level of air pollution raises the risk of heart disease, thereby shortening life expectancy.

“This raises risks of heart disease by 40–50%, lung cancer by 3x, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and early death (5–7 years lost).”

According to him, such exposure significantly increases health risks, making it difficult to believe that any supplement alone could counteract these harmful effects.

However, shortly after sharing his response, Johnson found himself blocked by Ramdev on X (formerly Twitter). While sharing all this, his first line read,

I replied with this comment and he hid it and blocked me:

Bryan Johnson has previously also spoken on India’s AQ after having experienced it

Bryan Johnson has previously expressed concerns about India’s air quality after experiencing it firsthand. During his appearance on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast, he walked out midway, citing poor air conditions in Mumbai and Bengaluru.

Following the incident, he explained how the air pollution affected his health and rendered his air purifier ineffective. Johnson, known for his strict longevity regimen, has consistently emphasized the importance of clean air, and his reaction during the podcast is a testament to it.
