The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio specializes in the ethical propagation of Simarouba glauca, focusing on high-altitude cultivars known for superior quassinoid concentration. Our material is subjected to rigorous HPLC profiling to ensure consistent levels of Glaucarubinone and Ailanthone. We utilize cold-press extraction for seed oils to prevent thermal degradation of bioactive fatty acids, ensuring a pharmaceutical-grade raw material free from heavy metals and pesticide residue.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The primary bioactive constituents are the Quassinoids, specifically Glaucarubinone, which has demonstrated significant potential in inhibiting cancer cell proliferation in clinical studies. The seeds yield 60-75% oil rich in Oleic (approx 53%) and Linoleic acid, alongside bitter principles like Simaroubidin and Ailanthone that provide potent anti-microbial and anti-protozoal activity.
