Blue Lotus - Alkaloid Extract

What is blue lotus alkaloid extract

Blue lotus alkaloid extract is a concentrated tincture based on purified alkaloids from the flowers of Nymphaea caerulea. The extraction process, known as TPA (Total Purified Alkaloids), isolates the active compounds and dissolves them in a mixture of ethanol and water. This yields a pure and potent extract in liquid form.

Active compounds

The two main alkaloids are nuciferine and aporphine. Nuciferine belongs to the aporphine alkaloid group and is described in ethnobotanical literature as a compound with mild sedative and relaxing properties. Aporphine is traditionally associated with a comparable effect. The concentration of these compounds is significantly higher than in the raw plant due to the TPA process.

Instructions for use

Place 5 to 10 drops under the tongue and hold the liquid for 30 to 60 seconds. Then swallow. You may take the extract up to twice per day. An empty stomach promotes absorption. Do not combine the extract with alcohol or other substances that affect the central nervous system.

Dosage

Start with 5 drops per intake. Gradually increase to a maximum of 10 drops per time if you find the effect mild. Never exceed 10 drops twice daily. Everyone reacts differently, so it is wise to build up gradually.

Effects

Users report feelings of relaxation, mild euphoria and an enhanced sense of wellbeing. Some also experience more vivid dreams when taking the extract before sleep. Effects typically set in within 15 to 30 minutes and last for several hours.

Legality

Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is legal in the Netherlands and most European countries. In some countries, including Russia and Latvia, a ban is in place. Always check local legislation before ordering. Avalon Magic Plants only ships to countries where the product is legal.

Difference from other products

Unlike the regular blue lotus 10:1 extract, this alkaloid extract contains exclusively purified alkaloids rather than a broad spectrum of plant material. The blue lotus tincture 15x is a different type of extract with a different concentration and composition. The alkaloid extract is the most concentrated and pure of the three options. The Holy Pink Lotus alkaloid extract is a related product based on a different lotus species (Nelumbo nucifera).
