COA
Preparation Method
Epimedium plant material is cleaned, dried, and then extracted with ethanol. The extract is filtered, concentrated, and spray-dried to obtain the final product. This method typically yields a product containing approximately 5% icariin at min.
Analytical Methods
Thin-layer chromatography: This method is used to qualitatively identify icariin in the extract.
Spectrophotometry: The total flavonoid content of the extract can be determined spectrophotometrically.
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC): HPLC is employed for the quantitative analysis of icariin in the extract.
Standardization
Epimedium brevicornum extract is typically standardized based on its content of icariin or total flavonoids to ensure consistent quality and efficacy.

Pharmacological Actions and Applications
Pharmacological Actions:
Sexual function: Epimedium extract has been shown to promote gonadal function. Its flavonoid constituents, such as icariin, possess aphrodisiac properties and can stimulate the secretion of estradiol by ovarian granulosa cells and corticosterone by adrenal cortical cells. Additionally, epimedium polysaccharides can elevate levels of gonadotropins, particularly follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
Immune system: Epimedium extract can enhance the immune system. Total flavonoids from Epimedium can significantly enhance T-cell immunity. Furthermore, both epimedium polysaccharides (EPS) and icariin (EI) exhibit immunomodulatory effects.
Antioxidant: EPS and EI possess antioxidant properties, capable of enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity and reducing free radical production.
Anti-aging: Epimedium extract can delay aging by influencing cell passage, extending the growth phase, regulating the immune and secretory systems, and improving metabolism and organ function.
Cardiovascular system: The non-amino acid fraction of Epimedium alcohol extract can significantly increase coronary blood flow in isolated rabbit hearts. Both decoctions and alcohol extracts have hypotensive effects. Icariin can directly relax vascular smooth muscle and dilate coronary, femoral, and cerebral arteries. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the influx of extracellular calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells.
Other effects: Epimedium extract has been shown to prevent osteoporosis. Additionally, crude Epimedium extract exhibits expectorant, antitussive, and bronchodilator effects.
Applications:
Epimedium extract, with its array of potential health benefits, has found widespread application in various industries globally.
Pharmaceutical Industry: It is commonly used as an adjunct therapy for erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, immune modulation, and cancer.
Dietary Supplements: As a dietary supplement, Epimedium extract is often used to enhance vitality and sexual health, particularly in traditional Chinese medicine for improving sexual dysfunction and libido.
Cosmetics Industry: Due to its phytoestrogenic properties, Epimedium extract has potential applications in skincare products to promote skin health and slow down the aging process.
Food and Feed Additives: It is used as a natural additive in the food and feed industries due to its potential health benefits and safety profile.
Chemical Production: Epimedium extract is finding applications in chemical production as a more sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional petrochemical processes. It can be used to produce various chemicals, including plastics, solvents, and detergents, and is increasingly used in biofuel production.
Scientific Research: Global scientific research on Epimedium extract is ongoing, focusing on its constituents, traditional uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacology.
International Market:
The international market for Epimedium extract is distributed across North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. North America is projected to be the primary market for Epimedium extract. Europe and Asia Pacific also exhibit high demand due to increased demand from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.
