Human Proteostasis

Dual Chemotype: Smilax glabra
Primary Actives: Astilbin (5.2% HPLC), Sarsasapogenin, Dihydroflavonols

Overview & Application

Supports whole-body protein folding equilibrium, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress resilience, and mucosal epithelial integrity under metabolic and environmental duress.

Molecular Pathway & Receptor Gating

Astilbin selectively modulates Store-Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE) at STIM1/Orai1 channels, preventing sustained intracellular Ca2+ overload and suppressing RAGE-ERK1/2-NF-kB inflammatory cascades while upregulating chaperone GRP78/BiP reserves.

Indigenous Roots & Seventh Generation Stewardship

Guided by Creek heritage and a Seventh Generation philosophy, STIM.bio is built on the understanding that every decision we make must protect and serve the land and the people seven generations into the future.

Our journey began as a deep, five-year return to the soil, seeking natural, whole-plant balance for our family outside the boundaries of isolated synthetic chemical compounds. We honor the plant's full architecture so that it can honor yours.

Dual-Species Targeted Chemistry

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all extracts. STIM.bio deploys two distinct species of Smilax, each selected for its specific natural phytochemical profile.

Smilax glabra (Astilbin Rich)

Specialized for human cellular proteostasis, companion canine metabolic and gut mobility support (hypothesized), and forest root-zone mycorrhizal development.

  • Rich in dihydroflavonol glycoside Astilbin (5%+ HPLC)
  • Inhibits store-operated calcium overload (SOCE) at STIM1/Orai1
  • Protects mucosal epithelial barriers and tight junctions

Smilax china (Laxogenin & Sapogenins)

Specialized for apiary thermal armor, flight muscle protection, and agrochemical neonicotinoid detoxification co-factors.

  • High concentration of Laxogenin brassinosteroid analogues
  • Bio-fermented spirostanol and furostanol aglycones
  • Induces worker bee thoracic HSP70 & CYP9Q detox enzymes
