Melting Point: 231~232 degrees What is Epimedium ? Epimedium is a traditional Chinese medicine replenishing, It can treat the renal and impotence effectively, and remit the rheumatism. It also can inhibit staphylococcus and anti-aging. Icariin is one of the main components, improving the cardiovascular system, endocrine regulation, enhance immunity, etc. Have shown physical activity, in particular, it is worth nothing that it has a significant anti-tumor effect, is a promising cancer drug.

Other research has demonstrated that injections of Epimedium extract directly into the penis of the rat results in an increase in penile blood pressure. Epimedium has been shown to up-regulate genes associated with nitric oxide production and changes in adenosine/guanine monophosphate balance in ways that other PDE5 inhibitors do not. Epimedium may have potential to help sexual dysfunction and osteoporosis . Osteoporosis Animal studies indicate that Icariin also stimulates osteoblast activity in bone tissue, leading to the development and marketing of medicinal products based on Epimedium extracts for treatment of osteoporosis. Chemistry Epimedium wushanense,contains a number of flavanoids. A total of 37 compounds were characterized from the underground and aerial parts of the plant. Among them, 28 compounds were prenylated flavonoids. The predominant flavonoid, epimedin C, ranged from 1.4 to 5.1% in aerial parts and 1.0 to 2.8% in underground parts.
