Punarnava Botanical Reference Material

Q: Can this BRM detect adulteration with Trianthema portulacastrum or other Boerhavia species?

Yes. Comparing a test sample's HPTLC profile against this Boerhavia diffusa reference material can help distinguish genuine punarnava from Trianthema portulacastrum , a visually similar plant sometimes traded as “wild punarnava,” as well as from other Boerhavia species.
