Icariin（Cat No.:I003725）is a flavonoid glycoside derived from Epimedium species, traditionally used in Chinese medicine for its health-promoting properties. It is best known for its potential to improve bone health by stimulating osteoblast activity, making it valuable in osteoporosis research. Icariin also exhibits various pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities. Additionally, it has shown potential in enhancing erectile function by increasing nitric oxide levels and inhibiting PDE5, similar to common erectile dysfunction treatments. Icariin’s wide range of therapeutic benefits makes it a significant compound in medicinal research.
