The Organicsio Advantage
Our Asparagus racemosus is cultivated in heavy-metal-free soil using precision regenerative agriculture to maximize root tuber density. Organicsio utilizes HPTLC fingerprinting to guarantee a minimum 30% saponin content (Shatavarins), significantly higher than the wild-crafted industry standard. All batches undergo rigorous testing for microbial load and aflatoxins to meet European Pharmacopoeia standards.

Phytochemical Profile
The therapeutic efficacy of this phenotype is driven by a complex profile of steroidal saponins, primarily Shatavarin I–IV. Secondary metabolites include alkaloids, quercetin, rutin, and hyperoside.
