Bryophyllum pinnatum (Pashanbheda / Patharchatta)
Leaf Margin Budding (Vegetative Propagation)
Controlled Cultivation Zone 4
The Organicsio Advantage
Our Bryophyllum pinnatum is cultivated using specific soil pH modulation to enhance the bio-availability of organic acids (malic/isocitric). Organicsio protocols ensure strict heavy metal compliance (Pb, Cd, Hg) via ICP-MS analysis, a critical requirement for renal health formulations. We utilize HPTLC fingerprinting to guarantee the presence of Bryophyllin A markers, distinguishing our stock from common adulterants.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The matrix is characterized by a high concentration of bufadienolides (cardiac glycosides) and flavonoids. Key constituents include Bryophyllin A, B, and C, alongside Kaempferol and Quercetin glycosides. The succulent leaves are rich in malic acid and isocitric acid, which play a documented role in preventing calcium oxalate crystal aggregation in urolithiasis models.
