The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio utilizes semi-aquatic precision farming to cultivate *Acorus calamus* with strictly monitored heavy metal profiles, addressing the common industry issue of biosorption in wild-harvested marsh stocks. Our genotype selection prioritizes high essential oil yield while maintaining standardized levels of β-asarone to meet international pharmacopoeial safety limits.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The matrix is characterized by a volatile oil content of 1.5% to 3.5%, dominantly composed of phenylpropanoids (specifically α- and β-asarone) and sesquiterpenes including acorenone and calamendiol. The bitter glycoside acorin provides the primary carminative action.
