The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio employs a proprietary hydroponic substrate protocol to strictly modulate the toxicity profile of Nerium oleander. By controlling nitrogen inputs, we stabilize the concentration of cardiac glycosides (specifically Oleandrin) to pharmaceutical-grade consistency. Every batch undergoes High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to ensure precise dosing capability and rigorous heavy metal screening (Pb, As, Cd) to meet international API export standards.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The biomass is rich in cardenolides, primarily Oleandrin (acts similarly to Digoxin) and Neriin. Secondary metabolites include adynerin, ursolic acid, and flavonoids (rutin). Our specific chemotype is selected for high Oleandrin yield (~0.05% dry weight) aimed at extraction efficiency for pharmaceutical synthesis, distinguishing it from ornamental varieties.
Commercial Applications
- API Extraction: Isolation of Oleandrin for congestive heart failure formulations.
- Oncology Research: Investigation of Anvirzel™-type extracts for cellular cytotoxicity studies.
- Ethnomedicine (External): Standardized pastes for refractory skin pathologies (Ringworm/Leprosy) under strict prescription control.
