The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio utilizes advanced photoperiod-controlled glasshouses to cultivate Euphorbia pulcherrima variants optimized for specific chemical profiles rather than ornamental value. Our propriety cultivation protocols ensure maximum density of cyanidin-3-glucoside within the bracts while stabilizing the latex enzyme profile. All biomass undergoes rigorous heavy metal screening and LC-MS analysis to ensure pharmaceutical-grade purity suitable for extraction and dermatological applications.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The Organicsio E. pulcherrima genotype is rich in polyphenolic compounds. The red bracts are a concentrated source of anthocyanins, primarily cyanidin-3-glucoside and pelargonidin, which act as potent antioxidants. The latex component is standardized for triterpenoids (cycloartenol, lupeol) and specific proteolytic enzymes, which are currently being researched for their efficacy in wound healing and enzymatic debridement formulations.
Commercial Applications
- Pharma-Grade Excipients: Natural, high-stability red colorants for pharmaceutical coating.
- Dermatology: Latex-derived enzymatic debridement agents and topical antimicrobials.
- Nutraceuticals: High-ORAC antioxidant supplements derived from bract extracts.
