Sarpagandha (Rauvolfia serpentina root) 400 mg vegetarian capsules, an Ayurvedic herbal product containing reserpine-type alkaloids. For licensed importers and distributors who can confirm its legal category in the destination market.

Product Description:

Sarpagandha is the Ayurvedic name for Rauvolfia serpentina, a shrub whose dried root has a long history in traditional medicine. The root contains indole alkaloids of the reserpine type, including reserpine, ajmaline and ajmalicine. Reserpine is a prescription drug in conventional medicine, so this herb sits much closer to a medicine than most botanicals. This page covers vegetarian capsules with 400 mg of powdered root.

In India, sarpagandha products fall under the Ayurvedic medicine rules and need a licence for that category. In many other markets, products containing Rauvolfia or its alkaloids are restricted, allowed only on prescription or not accepted as food supplements. A product sold as a herbal supplement in one country may be unlawful in the next. Because the alkaloids are pharmacologically active, pharmacists expect clear label warnings, advice to use it only under a qualified practitioner, and cautions on pregnancy and on other heart or mood medicines.

Sourcing notes. Ask for botanical identification of the root by macroscopy, microscopy and HPTLC, against the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia root monograph or an equivalent standard. A validated assay for total alkaloids or reserpine matters more here than for most herbs, because content varies between root batches. The batch CoA should report lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, microbial limits, pesticide residues and aflatoxins. Check that the shell is HPMC if the label says vegetarian, plus fill weight and moisture. Store closed and dry. In the enquiry, state the target market, its product category and the bottle count.
