Blue lotus alkaloid extract from Nymphaea caerulea
Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is an aquatic plant that originally grows along the banks of the Nile. The plant played a central role in ancient Egyptian culture, where it was depicted on temple walls and in tombs. The ancient Egyptians used the flowers during ceremonies and rituals for their calming and mildly euphoric properties.
This alkaloid extract is produced through the TPA method, which stands for Total Purified Alkaloids. During this process, the active alkaloids are isolated from the dried flowers of Nymphaea caerulea. The purified alkaloids are then dissolved in a base of ethanol (alcohol) and water. The result is a concentrated liquid extract that is easy to dose.
Active compounds and composition
The main alkaloids in blue lotus are nuciferine and aporphine. Nuciferine is traditionally associated with relaxation and a mild calming effect. Aporphine is described in traditional herbalism as a compound with similar properties. The extract further contains only ethanol and water as a carrier.
Usage and dosage
Take the extract sublingually by placing a few drops under the tongue. Hold the liquid for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. Start with a low dose of 5 to 10 drops and gradually increase until you reach the desired intensity. Use the extract a maximum of twice per day. Preferably take it on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.
Traditional use
In ancient Egypt, blue lotus was used as part of religious and social gatherings. The flowers were steeped in wine or water to prepare a beverage. This tradition goes back more than 3,000 years. The plant also features in traditional Indian and Thai herbalism, where it is valued for its relaxing effects.
