Molybdenum plays an important role as a mineral in human body as it is main constituent of molybdoenzymes which act in metabolizing the sulfur-containing amino acids. Molybdenum is included in the form of sodium molybdate in various pharmaceutical and nutraceutical supplements. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the Trivedi Effect®- Consciousness Energy Treatment on the physical, thermal, and spectral properties of sodium molybdate. For this, sodium molybdate sample was divided in two parts; first part was termed as control sample and kept untreated. Besides, the other part was treated remotely with the Biofield Energy Treatment by the renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Mr. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi and termed as the Biofield Energy Treated sample. The Biofield Energy Healer who was located in the USA, while the test samples and animals were located in the research laboratory in India. Consequently, both the samples were investigated using PSA, PXRD, TGA/DTG, DSC, UV-Vis, and FT-IR analytical techniques. The particle sizes d10, d50, d90, and D values of the treated sample were significantly increased by 7.18%, 7.21%, 6.93% and 7.53%, respectively as compared to the control sample. The surface area of the treated sample was found 5.65% less as compared to the control sample. Similarly, the PXRD analysis of the treated sample showed the significant changes in the relative peak intensities and crystallite sizes from -70.06% to 46.51% and-30.29% to 33.35%, respectively along with 2.73% increase in average crystallite size compared with the control sample. Besides, The TGA/DTG analysis represented 1.94% less weight loss in the treated sample along with slight increase in maximum degradation temperature (Tmax) compared to the control sample. Similarly, the DSC studies revealed minor increase in peak melting temperature (0.85%) of the treated sample along with 5.1% decrease in the latent heat of fusion as compared to the control sample. However, the UV-Vis and FT-IR studies revealed that the structural properties of the control and treated samples were remained same. The overall study represents that the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Treatment may help in the production of a polymorphic form of sodium molybdate, which would be better powder flowability and appearance having altered thermal stability compared to the control sample. Moreover, the increased thermal stability of the treated sample may ensure its quality, efficacy, safety and stability during the process of shipment, storage, and handling. Thus, the Trivedi Effect® Treated sodium molybdate would be useful for designing the better nutraceutical and/or pharmaceutical preparations with enhanced stability and efficacy profile, against molybdate deficiency.
