Product Description
Epimedium extract is standardized to icariin, commonly 10%, 20% or 98%, or to a broader icariins band (about 10–60%) from the aerial parts.
It is used in men’s-health capsules. “Icariin” (one peak) and “icariins” (the prenylflavonoid family) are easy to confuse on a COA and they change the number.
When buying, copy the word exactly, and the HPLC method.
