Epimedium extract is a traditional Chinese medicine with a wide range of medical applications. It is especially suitable for the treatment of a series of symptoms caused by kidney yang deficiency, such as impotence, waist and knee weakness, weak muscles and bones, frequent urination and enuresis, uterine cold infertility, numbness and spasm of limbs caused by wind, cold and dampness, as well as lung deficiency, cough and asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes, neurasthenia and sexual dysfunction. For polio syndrome, chronic bronchitis, coronary heart disease and menopausal syndrome, epimedium extract also has an adjuvant therapeutic effect, and can even increase the number of white blood cells and enhance the body's immunity.
Definition and core components
**Icariin** is an active ingredient extracted from the Berberidaceae plant Epimedium through [low temperature ultrasound/supercritical CO2 extraction] technology, and belongs to the flavonoids. Its standardized content can be customized:
Basic specification: Icariin ≥10% (HPLC detection)
High concentration specification: ≥50% (applicable to pharmaceutical-grade formula)
Raw material traceability: China's high-altitude wild epimedium (Tibet/Sichuan production area)
Certification: ISO 9001/HACCP/Non-GMO declaration/USP standard
Proven efficacy (scientifically supported)
Enhance sexual function
Increase blood flow to the corpus cavernosum of the penis and improve erectile dysfunction (ED) by activating nitric oxide synthase (NOS) (Journal of Ethnopharmacology 2021)
Increase serum testosterone levels by 30%-45% (supported by animal experimental data)
Anti-osteoporosis
Anti-osteoporosis
Promotes osteoblast differentiation, inhibits osteoclast activity, clinically shows bone density increased by 15% (study on postmenopausal women)
Cardiovascular protection
Reduce LDL cholesterol by 20%-25% and inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaques (Atherosclerosis 2023)
Neuroprotection and anti-fatigue
Increase brain tissue SOD activity by 40%, reduce oxidative stress damage, and prolong exercise endurance time (mouse swimming experiment)
Immunomodulation
Enhance NK cell activity and promote lymphocyte proliferation (verified by in vitro experiments)
Application scenarios and usage methods
Dietary supplement development
Capsules/tablets: Directly encapsulate standardized extracts, each capsule contains 50-150mg icariin, suitable for men's health and anti-fatigue product lines.
Instant powder: Add to protein powder or energy drinks, it is recommended to add 200-500mg per serving (synergistic with maca and ginseng).
Functional food innovation
Sports nutrition products: blended into energy bars or endurance drinks to reduce lactic acid accumulation (recommended to add 1-2g of extract per 100g).
Women's health food: compounded with soy isoflavones for menopausal bone density maintenance (clinically recommended dose: 150mg/day).
Medicine and skin care products
Osteoporosis drugs: used as natural alternative ingredients in combination with calcium supplements (medical grade must contain ≥50%).
Anti-aging essence: added at a concentration of 0.5%-2% to inhibit collagen degradation (in vitro experiments show that the effect is better than vitamin C)
Applicable people and contraindications
Target groups:
Men with impaired sexual function (ED, low libido)
Postmenopausal women and osteoporosis high-risk groups
High-intensity exercisers (endurance improvement needs)
Cardiovascular disease prevention groups
FAQ Section
Q: What is the difference between icariin extract and ordinary icariin?
A: The extract is concentrated with a standardized process to produce active ingredients. The icariin content is 20-50 times that of the original icariin, and the gastrointestinal irritation caused by tannins in the original herb is avoided.
Q: How to solve the problem of low bioavailability of icariin?
A: We use nano-carrier technology (such as soy milk protein complex system) to increase water solubility and absorption rate by 80 times and 30 times respectively.
Q: Can you provide support for the development of end product formulas?
A: Yes! We provide a full-link technical solution from raw materials to finished products, including compatibility suggestions (such as synergistic effects with L-arginine and zinc)
