Mesua ferrea Linn. (Nagakeshara / Cobra Saffron)
High-Resolution Stamen Macro
Controlled Cultivation Site: Assam
The Organicsio Advantage
Genetic Purity & Stamen Selection: Sourcing genuine Mesua ferrea stamens is notoriously difficult due to market adulteration with Calophyllum inophyllum flowers. Organicsio utilizes DNA barcoding to verify the Mesua genotype. We employ a precision air-separation technique to isolate the stamens from the flower petals, ensuring < 0.5% foreign organic matter and a rich concentration of bio-active phenylcoumarins free from heavy metal contamination often found in wild-harvested samples.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The pharmacodynamics of Organicsio’s Nagakeshara are driven by a high concentration of phenylcoumarins (Mesuol, Mammeisin) and xanthones. Our standardized extract contains optimized levels of volatile oils (including trans-caryophyllene) responsible for its potent astringent and antimicrobial properties, crucial for hemostatic formulations.
