Epimedium

Epimedium, also known as horny goat weed, is a traditional botanical from the leaves of Epimedium species, supplied by Nustras as a leaf powder and as a standardised extract. Its characteristic active is the flavonoid icariin, to which premium epimedium extracts are standardised, and it has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine for vitality and wellbeing.

Epimedium extract is formulated into men's-health, vitality and energy supplements, sports-nutrition and traditional-herbal products, in capsules, tablets and powders.

The material is a brown leaf powder or extract standardised to its icariin content to order (common grades at 5%, 10%, 20% or higher icariin). Identity and icariin assay are by HPLC; heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies epimedium in bulk commercial quantities, in fibre drums or cartons, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Epimedium is used as a traditional botanical dietary ingredient; buyers confirm the icariin standardisation, botanical name and claim for their market.
