The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio utilizes a proprietary phenotypic selection process to cultivate Abroma augusta strains with elevated Abromine concentrations. Our cultivation protocol strictly eliminates heavy metal accumulation—a common issue in wild-harvested Ulatkambal roots. We ensure a sustainable 18-month root maturation cycle to maximize the yield of active uterine tonic compounds while maintaining complete genetic traceability from soil to extract.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The primary bioactive constituent is Abromine (a betaine-type alkaloid). Secondary metabolites include Taraxerol (triterpenoid), Friedelin, and fixed oils containing linoleic acid. High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprinting confirms the presence of characteristic sterols essential for its anti-inflammatory and uterine-stimulant properties.
