What Makes Our Epimedium Extract Powder Different?
Our production process employs low temperature alcohol extraction techniques to preserve the bioactive integrity of icariin and associated prenylated flavonoids. This approach avoids heat degradation and is effective to concentrate active chemicals.
It is prepared from selected dried aerial parts of Epimedium, collected at the peak of ripeness. Each batch is tested rigorously for heavy metals, microbiological contamination and active ingredient concentration before release.
Moisture levels are maintained at less than 5.0% and total ash at less than 5.0% and we provide long shelf stability of 24 months when stored appropriately. Its fine powder form can be easily incorporated into capsules, tablets and functional food matrices without clumping.
