The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio utilizes a precision-shade forestry model to cultivate Elaeocarpus sylvestris, ensuring high accumulation of phenolic compounds without the stress markers found in wild-foraged variants. Our stock is DNA-barcoded to distinguish it from common E. floribundus, guaranteeing a pure phytochemical profile free from heavy metal contamination often seen in roadside populations. We maintain strict control over soil pH (acidic preference) to maximize tannin synthesis.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
Our clinical grade E. sylvestris is standardized for hydrolyzable tannins, specifically 1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloylglucose (PGG) and Strictinin. The profile exhibits potent radical scavenging activity (DPPH assay certified) due to high concentrations of ellagic acid derivatives. Unique to our strain is a stabilized level of Sanguiin H-6, a key marker for anti-viral and cytoprotective research applications.
Commercial Applications
- Cosmeceuticals: Natural astringent and skin-whitening agents (tyrosinase inhibition).
- Nutraceuticals: High-ORAC antioxidant supplements for cellular health.
- Pharmaceutical Research: Investigation into anti-viral properties and management of metabolic inflammation.
- Ayurvedic Formulations: Substitute for classical Rudraksha in specific Pitta-pacifying decoctions.
