[What is Epimedium?]

Epimedium extract is a popular aphrodisiac supplement and herbal sexual performance enhancer.It has a long history of traditional use in China for the alleviation of erectile dysfunction and for improving libido and fertility.

Also known as Horny Goat Weed, this supplement supposedly got its name after a farmer noticed that his flock of goats were particularly aroused after eating flowers of a specific type. These Epimedium flowers contain icariin, which is a natural compound that increases blood flow to sexual organs and promotes sex drive. Icariin has been found to increase Nitric Oxide synthesis as well as inhibiting the activity of the PDE-5 enzyme

[Icariin in Epimedium Extract]

Epimedium extracts powder contain an active phytochemical called icariin.Icariin has been observed to exhibit a number of useful traits, including renoprotective (liver protecting) hepatoprotective (kidney protecting), cardioprotective (heart protecting) and neuroprotective (brain protecting) effects.

It is also an antioxidant and can cause vasodilation. It exhibits antimicrobial characteristics and is thought to act as an aphrodisiac.

Icariin is classified as a flavonol glycoside, which is a type of flavonoid. Specifically, icariin is the 8-prenyl derivation of kaempferol 3,7-O-diglucoside, a prevalent and important flavonoid.

There are several health benefits associated with Grape seed Extract (GSE): It is a powerful immune booster, Effective in Weight Management, helps in maintaining a Healthy Heart & Regulates Blood Sugar, Promotes Brain & Eye Health & also has Anti-Aging & Anti cancer properties.

Grapes are very high in Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins complexes (OPCs), which are very powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that destroy free radicals, which are harmful compounds in the body that damage DNA (genetic material) and even cause cell death. Scientists believe free radicals contribute to aging, as well as the development of a number of health problems, including heart disease and cancer. Since grape seeds are high not only in OPCs but also Vitamin E, flavonoids & linoleic acid they help in treating a variety of diseases & promoting good health.

Christian G. Krueger – CEO of Complete Phytochemical Solutions discusses the 4-(dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde (DMAC) assay for quantification of soluble proanthocyanidins (PAC) and the butanol hydrochloric acid (BuOH-HCL) assay for quantification of insoluble PAC. Accurate quantification of total PAC is possible by choosing appropriate standard reference materials that reflect the natural structural features of PAC found in the fresh cranberry fruit.
