We have more than 150 experienced experts and a yearly capacity of 3,000 tonnes. We provide uniform batches with worldwide Certifications such as HALAL, KOSHER, cGMP, FSSC22000, ISO9001 and ISO22000. Our product is science-backed, potency verified, heavy metals tested (Lead <0.5ppm, Arsenic <1ppm), microbiologically safe, to ensure your formulations are as effective as possible and compliant in all markets across the world.

Epimedium Extract Supplier

Epimedium Extract is a derivative of Epimedium brevicornu Maxim. (Horny Goat Weed), a classic plant used for its bioactive flavonoids. Epimedium powder is light yellow to brown with standardised concentrations of icariin from 5% to 98%. The HPLC technique is used to guarantee accuracy over gravimetric methods. Our extraction technique removes contaminants and plant matrices and preserves the molecular integrity of icariin. Epimedium  extract powder shows a good stability in capsule formulations and solubility profile suited for distribution in lipid and aqueous systems. Each batch is extensively tested for botanical authenticity, so you know you’re getting real Epimedium extract, with no leaf adulteration or species replacement.

Pure Icariin Extract Advantages

Validated HPLC Standardisation: UV spectrophotometry measures total flavonoids in a non-specific way, while our HPLC methodology isolates and quantifies individual icariin molecules, avoiding the false potency inflation that is common with gravimetric techniques that can overstate concentrations by 200-300%.

Enhanced Bioavailability Profile: Our water-ethanol extraction procedure results in tiny particle sizes (80 mesh) with improved dissolving rates and 85% release in simulated stomach fluid in 30 minutes vs. crude powders, a considerable improvement.

Thermal Stability: Stability testing shows that icariin retention is >95% when exposed to 120°C for 30 minutes. This extract is appropriate for tablet compression, gummy manufacture and encapsulation without potency deterioration.

Low Solvent residual: GC analysis confirms ethanol residual below 500ppm per USP <467> Class 3 limits, assuring safety for daily intake and fulfilling pharmaceutical-grade criteria for dietary supplement usage.

Application of Pure Icariin Extract

Men’s Health Supplements: Formulated as capsules and tablets with 200-500mg per serving for vitality support, where the extract should exhibit stability inside gelatin or HPMC shells for a 24-month shelf life.

Sports Nutrition Products Good compatibility with amino acids, creatine and B-vitamins. Clear Dissolution in acidic beverage systems. Included in pre-workout powders and endurance blends.

Functional Food Fortification: Added Horny Goat Weed Exract to energy bars and health snacks when the extract has to tolerate baking temperatures and be evenly distributed in lipid-based matrices without changing the texture.

Manufacturing Process

Step 1 - Raw Material Selection: Collect mature Epimedium leaves from certified planting bases during the time of maximum icariin content; Result: Confirmed botanical identification by HPTLC fingerprinting, confirming species validity.

Step 2 - Extraction: Employ optimized water-ethanol solvent system at controlled temperature and pressure to maximize icariin yield; Result: Primary extract with 15-25% crude flavonoid concentration.

Step 3 - Purification: Selectively adsorb icariin molecules via the adsorption chromatography of macroporous resin and remove polysaccharides and tannins. Result: The purity of the concentrated extract is 50-70%.

Step 4 - Crystallisation: Controlled cooling and pH adjustment to precipitate pure icariin crystals. Result: Final product has up to 98% icariin content confirmed by HPLC.

Step 5 - Spray Drying: Use low temperature spray drying method to convert concentrated liquid extract into fine powder; Result: Get free-flowing powder with moisture content below 5% and retained bioactivity.

Third Party Testing Report

Heavy Metal Analysis: Third party lab testing by ICP-MS shows Lead concentration to be less than 0.5ppm, Arsenic less than 1ppm, Cadmium less than 0.3ppm and Mercury less than 0.1ppm, surpassing California Prop 65 safety requirements.

Microbiological Certification: SGS Test & Certification to confirm Total Aerobic Microbial Count is less than 1,000 cfu/g, Total Yeast and Mould is less than 100 cfu/g and E. coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus are absent.

Pesticide Residue Screening. Eurofins'GC-MS/LC-MS testing ensures your product is in line with EU Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs). All tested substances are below measurable limits, ensuring clean-label status for your formulations.

FAQ

Q: How does icariin content affect bioactivity in the product?

A : 60-98 % specifications are more potent per dose so you may use lower serving sizes . 10-20 % specifications are for cost-sensitive formulations that need bigger doses to be clinically relevant .

Q: What is the difference between the HPLC and UV method for testing icariin levels?

A: HPLC precisely measures icariin molecules, giving correct potency, whereas UV techniques measure total flavonoids non-selectively, perhaps overstating genuine icariin levels by 150-200%.

Q: Is the product stable in capsule formulations?

A：Yes, stability studies confirm less than 5% degradation over 24 months when stored in HDPE bottles with desiccants at temperatures below 25°C and relative humidity under 60%.

Q: Can this extract be used in beverage applications?

A：While solubility is limited, micronization to 200 mesh and co-processing with solubilizers like cyclodextrins enables stable suspension in functional drinks with proper homogenization.

Q: What is the recommended daily dosage for supplement formulations?

A：Clinical research suggests 200-500mg daily of high-concentration extract (60%+ icariin) demonstrates functional benefits, though specific dosing should align with your product positioning and regulatory guidance.
