Aperçu
Epimedium extrait, also known as Horny Goat Weed extrait, est un naturel plant extrait processed from the dried aerial parts of plants of the Epimedium genus (Berberidaceae family) through extraition, filtration, concentration, and drying processes. It est un functional ingredient with multiple biological activities. Epimedium was first recorded in the Shennong Bencao Jing (The Divine Farmer‘s Materia Medica) as a medium-grade herb. It has a long medicinal history as a traditional Chinese tonic herb, with functions of tonifying kidney yang, strengthening bones and tendons, and dispelling wind-dampness. It est utilisé pour impotence, seminal emission, weak bones and muscles, rheumatic pain, numbness and contracture, and menopausal hypertension. The main active components of Epimedium extrait are flavonoids, including icariin, epimedin A, epimedin B, and epimedin C. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition) uses the total content of epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C, and icariin as the contrôle qualité standard. Epimedium contient flavonoids, polysaccharides, alkaloids, lignans, trace elements, etc., with pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxydant, anti-osteoporosis, anti-tumor, and anti-apoptotic effects. Epimedium extrait products are available in various forms, including standardized extrait poudres (icariin content ranging from 1% to 98%), ratio extraits, total flavonoid extraits, compound preparations, and capsules/tablets.
