The Organicsio Advantage
Our Cassia fistula stock is sourced from dedicated medicinal agro-forestry zones, ensuring minimal environmental pollutant exposure. Organicsio implements rigorous heavy metal testing (Pb, Hg, As, Cd) to meet Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India (API) standards. We utilize controlled low-temperature drying for the fruit pulp to prevent the degradation of heat-sensitive glycosides, ensuring high-potency raw material for formulation.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The therapeutic efficacy is primarily driven by anthraquinone derivatives. Our HPLC profiling confirms high concentrations of Rhein, Sennosides A & B, and Kaempferol. The pulp is characterized by a high Mucilage index and Pectin content, acting synergistically with anthraquinones to provide a gentle, bulk-forming laxative effect without the harsh cramping often associated with synthetic purgatives.
