Clerodendrum Serratum (Bharangi / Blue Glory)
High-Resolution Macro View (Leaves & Florets)
Controlled Cultivation Site: Zone 4
The Organicsio Advantage
Our Clerodendrum serratum is cultivated using Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) to address the industry-wide challenge of heavy metal accumulation in root crops. We utilize proprietary soil filtration techniques to ensure Lead (Pb) and Arsenic (As) levels remain significantly below WHO permissible limits. Furthermore, our genotype is selected for high Serratagenic acid yield, ensuring potent bronchodilatory activity for clinical formulations.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The root bark contains a high concentration of D-mannitol, Sapogenins, and three key triterpenoid saponins: Serratagenic acid, Quercetaroic acid, and Clerodermic acid. Secondary metabolites include Phenolics and Flavonoids (Apigenin-7-glucoside) which provide significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant stability in liquid formulations.
