Introduction
Horny Goat Weed Extract, also known as Epimedium Extract, is a highly valued botanical ingredient derived from the aerial parts of Epimedium sagittatum and related species. For centuries, it has been a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), revered for its ability to tonify kidney yang, strengthen sinews and bones, and support overall vitality.
Sourced from pristine growing regions in China, including Shaanxi, Liaoning, and Shandong provinces, our Horny Goat Weed extract is produced using advanced extraction technology that concentrates the key bioactive flavonoid – Icariin. With a standardized CAS number of 489-32-7, this premium extract is available in multiple potency levels (typically 10%, 20%, 40%, and 98% Icariin) to meet diverse formulation requirements across the nutraceutical, functional food, and pharmaceutical industries.
At Botanical Essence, we prioritize traceability, sustainability, and strict quality control. Our manufacturing processes follow GMP standards, ensuring consistent potency, purity, and batch-to-batch stability for global B2B partners.
