Calotropis procera (Arka / Madar)
Standardized Latex Exudate
Arid Zone Cultivation
The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio utilizes specific arid-zone agro-climatic zones to cultivate Calotropis procera, ensuring the plant acts as a hyper-accumulator only within controlled soil matrices. We employ a specialized non-invasive latex collection protocol that maximizes cardenolide yield without damaging the vascular system of the shrub. All batches are subjected to rigorous heavy metal testing (Pb, Cd, Hg) to ensure compliance with pharmacopoeial standards for topical and internal applications.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The latex and root bark are characterized by a potent profile of cardenolides (cardiac glycosides), specifically Calotropin, Calactin, and Uscharin. Secondary metabolites include proteolytic enzymes (calotropain), flavonoids (rutin, quercetin), and triterpenoids. Our extraction process targets the stabilization of calotropin to ensure consistent anti-inflammatory and analgesic bio-activity.
