Kaempferia parviflora (Black Ginger / Krachai Dum)
High-Resolution Rhizome Cross-Section
Controlled Cultivation Site
The Organicsio Advantage
Our Kaempferia parviflora is propagated via advanced tissue culture to ensure the absence of viral vectors common in traditional root division. Organicsio stock is cultivated in semi-shaded, controlled micro-climates to maximize methoxyflavone synthesis. Every batch undergoes rigorous heavy metal (Pb, As, Cd) screening and HPTLC fingerprinting to guarantee species authenticity against common adulterants like K. galanga.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
This phenotype is standardized for high concentrations of polymethoxyflavones (PMFs). Primary bioactive constituents include 5,7-dimethoxyflavone, 5,7,4′-trimethoxyflavone, and 3,5,7,3′,4′-pentamethoxyflavone. These lipophilic compounds are known for their high bioavailability and potent PDE5 inhibitory activity compared to generic gingerol profiles.
Commercial Applications
- Sports Nutrition: Mitochondrial biogenesis and ATP production support.
- Men’s Health: Natural PDE5 inhibition and vascular health formulations.
- Metabolic Support: Activation of AMPK pathways for glucose management.
