Icariin Epimedium Extract

Icariin – The Key Bioactive Compound in Epimedium Extract

What is Icariin?
Icariin is a natural flavonoid glycoside and the principal active ingredient found in Epimedium species, a traditional Chinese herb widely known as Horny Goat Weed or Yin Yang Huo. It is considered the primary pharmacologically active component responsible for the herb’s well-documented effects on vitality, libido, bone health, and overall wellness.

Key Benefits of Icariin:

• ✅ Supports Libido & Sexual Vitality
  Icariin has been shown to enhance sexual function by increasing nitric oxide (NO) production and inhibiting PDE5, promoting better circulation and sexual performance—making it a natural choice for men’s health formulas.

• ✅ Boosts Energy & Reduces Fatigue
  Known for its adaptogenic properties, icariin may help improve stamina, energy levels, and resistance to physical and mental stress.

• ✅ Promotes Bone Health
  Icariin stimulates bone formation and reduces bone resorption, making it valuable for preventing osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women.

• ✅ Supports Cognitive & Nervous System Function
  Emerging studies suggest icariin offers neuroprotective benefits and may help improve memory and protect against age-related cognitive decline.

• ✅ Powerful Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Effects
  Helps fight oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, which contributes to overall wellness and longevity.
