Smilax zeylanica (Kumarika / Vanamadhusnahi)
High-Resolution Rhizome Macro
Controlled Trellis Cultivation
The Organicsio Advantage
Our Smilax zeylanica is sourced through a proprietary semi-wild cultivation protocol that mimics the plant’s natural understory habitat while ensuring traceability. Unlike generic wild-crafted stock, Organicsio guarantees rhizomes free from heavy metal accumulation—a critical quality parameter for root-based phytopharmaceuticals. We implement DNA barcoding to distinguish S. zeylanica from inferior adulterants often found in the “Chopchini” supply chain.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The therapeutic efficacy of this asset is driven by a complex matrix of steroidal saponins. Our standardized extracts are calibrated to specific concentrations of Diosgenin and Smilagenin, the precursors responsible for the plant’s anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. The profile also exhibits significant phenolic content, contributing to antioxidant stability in topical formulations.
