The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio employs a vertically integrated cultivation model for Piper chaba, specifically targeting high-piperine cultivars. Through stringent Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in our Eastern India estates, we eliminate heavy metal accumulation commonly found in wild-harvested root stocks. Every batch undergoes HPTLC fingerprinting to ensure species authenticity, distinguishing true Chavya from common adulterants like Piper longum stems.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The therapeutic efficacy of our Piper chaba is driven by a complex alkaloid profile. Primary constituents include Piperine and Piperlongumine. Secondary metabolites of high pharmaceutical interest include Retrofractamides A, B, and C, and methyl piperate. These markers are quantified to support structure-function claims in digestive and bio-enhancing formulations.
