The Organicsio Advantage
Mentha aquatica is a hyper-accumulator of heavy metals in wild riparian zones. Organicsio utilizes a proprietary controlled-hydrology cultivation protocol to ensure our stock is chemically pristine. Our verified genotype is selected specifically for a stable Menthofuran/1,8-Cineole ratio, ensuring pharmaceutical consistency often lacking in wild-harvested variants.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The chemical profile of our M. aquatica is characterized by high concentrations of Menthofuran (the primary metabolic marker distinguishing it from M. piperita) and 1,8-Cineole. Secondary metabolites include Viridiflorol and β-Caryophyllene. This specific chemotype is optimized for potent antimicrobial activity and mild CNS modulation.
Commercial Applications
- Gastrointestinal Pharmacology: Carminative formulations for IBS and dyspepsia.
- Topical Antimicrobials: Active ingredient in antifungal creams and antiseptic washes.
