Epimedium refers to a plant, also known as Epimedium or Curculigo, belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family, often distributed in China, Japan, and Korea. Its heart-shaped leaves and bitter taste are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and are believed to have certain health and medicinal effects, including promoting physical health and enhancing male sexual function. In addition, Epimedium is also used in the manufacture of food and health products, such as Epimedium Oral Liquid, Epimedium Capsules, etc.
Icaritin is a phytoestrogen substance, also known as a flavonoid, mainly derived from the plant Epimedium. Icaritin is widely used in men's health and sexual wellness and is believed to help promote increased levels of sex hormones, increased libido, and improved erectile function. Icaritin has also been studied for use in women's health, including protecting bone health and relieving menopausal symptoms. However, more scientific research is needed to confirm the efficacy of icariin.
