The Organicsio Advantage
Our Rauvolfia serpentina stock is derived from genetically authenticated high-alkaloid chemotypes. Organicsio utilizes shade-net precision agriculture to simulate the plant’s natural forest floor habitat, preventing alkaloid degradation caused by direct UV exposure. Every batch undergoes rigorous heavy metal (Pb, As, Hg, Cd) profiling to ensure full compliance with API, USP, and Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India standards.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The root matrix is dense with over 50 indole alkaloids. The primary bioactive marker is Reserpine (0.15% – 2.5% yield based on strain), a potent sympatholytic agent. Secondary alkaloid profiles include Ajmaline (Class Ia antiarrhythmic), Deserpidine, and Serpentine, critical for holistic synergistic formulations.
