What is Organic Epimedium Extract?
Organic Epimedium Extract Powder (commonly known as Horny Goat Weed or Yin Yang Huo) is a high-potency functional ingredient derived from 100% organic-certified Epimedium leaves. Revered in traditional Eastern wellness for its ability to tonify “Yang” energy, modern science focuses on its primary bioactive flavonoid, Icariin. Our organic extract is engineered to support hormonal balance, nitric oxide production, and bone density. By utilizing a clean, organic-compliant extraction process, we provide a standardized solution that bridges the gap between ancient vigor and modern sports and longevity science.
Why is Organic Epimedium the leader in “Vitality” formulations?
Unlike conventional Epimedium, which is often subject to harsh chemical pesticides and non-standardized harvesting, our Organic Epimedium Extract ensures a pure, potent, and sustainable supply. The active compound Icariin is clinically recognized for its “mimetic” properties, supporting healthy testosterone levels and enhancing blood flow by promoting nitric oxide signaling. For brands targeting the “Men’s Health,” “Pre-Workout,” or “Active Aging” segments, this organic extract offers a premium, science-backed botanical that aligns with the highest standards of clean-label integrity.
What are the technical specifications of our Organic Extract?
We offer standardized Icariin concentrations to ensure precise dosing and predictable therapeutic outcomes in every batch.

Which high-growth categories benefit most from Epimedium Extract?
The multi-functional nature of Organic Epimedium Extract makes it a versatile asset for premium product lines:
- Men’s Health & Virility: The “hero” ingredient in formulas designed to support libido, stamina, and reproductive health.
- Sports Nutrition & Pre-Workouts: Promotes vasodilation (muscle pump) and energy levels through its impact on nitric oxide and cellular metabolism.
- Bone Health & Longevity: Studies suggest Icariin supports osteoblast activity, making it an innovative addition to organic bone-density supplements.
- Hormonal Balance: Used in holistic wellness blends to help regulate the HPA axis and support vitality in both men and women.
- Cognitive Support: Emerging research points toward its neuroprotective properties and its role in supporting healthy brain aging.
How to Use: What are the professional formulation tips?
- Synergistic Blending: For maximum performance, blend with Organic Hemp Protein for amino acid support or Organic Rhodiola Rosea to enhance stress resilience and physical endurance.
- Flavor Balancing: The extract has a mild, slightly bitter herbal taste. In powder mixes, it is easily masked by earthy flavors like cocoa or robust citrus notes from Organic Lemon Juice Powder.
- Dosage Precision: Due to its concentration, typical daily dosages of a 10% extract range from 250mg to 500mg. Standardized extracts allow for smaller capsule sizes and more room for “stacked” ingredients.
- pH Stability: Maintain a near-neutral pH in liquid formulations to prevent the degradation of the delicate flavonoid structures.
FAQs
Q: How do you achieve high Icariin levels while remaining Organic?
A: We use a proprietary, organic-compliant hydro-ethanolic extraction process. We strictly avoid synthetic solvents like hexane, using only water and organic-certified ethanol to pull the active flavonoids from the leaf.
Q: Is it safe for long-term use?
A: Epimedium has a long history of safe use in traditional practices. However, because it can influence hormonal pathways, it is most effective when used in “cycles” or as part of a balanced daily supplement protocol.
Q: What is the difference between 10% and 40% Icariin?
A: A 10% extract is ideal for general wellness and “stacked” formulas. A 40% extract is a high-potency “isolating” grade designed for concentrated therapeutic capsules where small serving sizes are required.
Q: Does your extract undergo heavy metal testing?
A: Yes. Because Epimedium is a wild-harvested or farm-grown leaf, we conduct rigorous ICP-MS testing for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic to ensure compliance with global organic and safety standards.
