Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), has been a cornerstone in traditional systems of medicine since time immemorial and is often called as “The Elixir of Life.” With its adaptogenic properties that help the body to navigate through stress, fatigue, and anxiety, it is a perfect synergy of ancient solutions and modern consumer demands. The active compounds in Tulsi work behind the scenes like a master conductor, by regulating the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis thereby balancing the neurotransmitters and neutralizing oxidative stress.
At KP Phyto, we recognized an opportunity to take this ancient powerhouse and transform it into a market-ready, scientifically validated extract. Ocitum™ by KP Phyto is thus a clinically-backed Tulsi extract for stress and sleep harmony. In a market where consumers are searching for solutions that actually work, Ocitum™ indubitably delivers the results. Combining 5,000 years of Ayurvedic wisdom with clinically backed innovation, KP Phyto brings the ideal ingredient to power-up the next-generation stress and sleep formulations.
This is where old roots meet new frontiers!
Tulsi: A Sacred Tradition and A Science-Backed Wellness Solution.
Tulsi has been a symbol of protection, healing, and balance for centuries. It has been deeply woven into cultural rituals like Tulsi Vivah, and has also long been revered for its medicinal power. Today, scientific research also confirms what these traditions have known all along.
Tulsi, in Ayurveda, is classified as a Rasayana herb that promotes longevity and vitality. Tulsi is also celebrated for its ability to balance the three vital energies in the body- Vata, Pitta, and Kapha aiding in immune support, and respiratory health as well.
Incorporated with this ancient wisdom, Ocitum™, the standardized and clinically-backed and ethically sourced Tulsi extract is designed to integrate seamlessly into premium formulations for stress management, mood balance, and sleep support thereby bridging Ayurveda and innovation to create next-gen, plant-based solutions that consumers can trust.
The Science Behind Ocitum™: The Hidden Hands Crafting Wellness.
Great formulations always start with powerful ingredients, and Ocitum™ delivers just that. It provides all essential ingredients; a brand would need to form a great formulation. The potent trio of bioactives i.e. ursolic acid, eugenol, and rosmarinic acid play a vital role in calming the mind, balancing cortisol and restoring deep-natural sleep. They are more like conductors of the body’s natural relaxation process! So, let’s peel back the layers to see how it all comes together.
Ursolic Acid – The Stress Regulator.
Ursolic Acid dials down inflammation, cortisol levels and also protects the body against neuro-degeneration. It is a natural stress thermostat of the body. It actively aids in the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines thereby reducing the chronic stress burden on the nervous system. By also interacting with the HPA axis, it helps prevent cortisol overproduction, restoring emotional balance and calmness.
Eugenol – The Sleep Architect.
Eugenol is a natural phenylpropanoid that acts as GABA-ergic modulator. Which means that it helps in promoting stable responses of the nervous system. It works by fine-tuning the sleep architecture by enhancing slow wave sleep and reducing sleep onset latency. This in turn ensures deeper and more restorative rest.
Rosmarinic Acid – The Mood Stabilizer.
Rosmarinic acid, like a silent guardian, helps to keep the spirits high by preventing the breakdown of serotonin and dopamine, the “feel-good” duo crucial for emotional stability and cognitive health. By keeping these neurotransmitters in check, Rosmarinic acid helps to steady the ship during the storm. Which means it eases anxiety, enhances mood and promotes mental clarity making sure that the stress doesn’t steal the spotlight.
With these science-backed adaptogenic power, Ocitum™ helps the brands craft promising plant-based solutions that meet the growing demand for clean and effective wellness innovations.
Beyond Stress & Sleep: Potential of Ocitum™
While Ocitum™ shines as a stress-reliever and sleep supporter with the rich Tulsi extracts, its benefits also stretch far beyond the pillow and peace of mind.
Breathe Easy: Natural Respiratory Support.
The bio active components in Tulsi like eugenol and camphene work as natural bronchodilators and expectorants, helping to clear congestion in airways thereby supporting effortless breathing.
Putting Out the Fire: Anti-Inflammatory Defense.
The potent anti-inflammatory duo of ursolic acid and rosmarinic acid in Ocitum™ inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduces oxidative stress.
Thus, Ocitum™ is a multifunctional botanical designed to act as a full spectrum wellness boost.
Ocitum™, A Clinically-Backed Calm.
When it comes to stress relief and sleep support, Ocitum™ delivers results backed by science. In a rigorous, placebo-controlled clinical study spanning 8 weeks, Ocitum™ was put to the test using standardized psychometric and physiological assessments, ensuring hard data, not just hearsay.
The results? A statistically significant drop in DASS-21 scores, proving Ocitum™’s ability to enhance emotional resilience and stress adaptation. Sleep quality also saw a remarkable boost, with Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS) assessments revealing shorter sleep onset, longer deep sleep phases, and improved daytime alertness. A nod to Tulsi’s time-honored role in circadian rhythm balance! Most notably, Ocitum™ delivered a highly significant reduction in serum cortisol levels as well, tackling the root cause of stress-related neurodegeneration, anxiety, and metabolic imbalances.
These findings proved Ocitum™ as a clinically-validated powerhouse, ready to elevate brands shaping the future of evidence-based and plant-powered wellness.
