Epimedium Extract, or icariin powder, is a standardized botanical active derived from the dried aerial parts of the Epimedium plant (commonly known as epimedium powder or horney goat extract). This traditional herb, belonging to the Berberidaceae family, has been revered for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its key properties of tonifying the kidney and supporting vitality. Our extract is meticulously processed to concentrate its primary bioactive compounds, notably icariin and other flavonoid glycosides, ensuring potent pharmacological activity for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and functional food applications.
