description
epimedium is a genus of about 60 or more species of herbaceous flowering plants in the family berberidaceae. it is sold as a health supplement; usually in raw herb, tablet, or capsule form and sometimes blended with other supplements. many species of epimedium have aphrodisiac qualities associated with content of icariin. icariin is purported to work by increasing levels of nitric oxide, which relax smooth muscle. it has been demonstrated to relax rabbit penile tissue by nitric oxide and pde-5 activity. other research has demonstrated that injections of epimedium extract directly into the penis of the rat results in an increase in penile blood pressure. like sildenafil (the erectile dysfunction drug commonly sold as viagra), icariin, the active compound in epimedium, inhibits the activity of pde-5.
animal studies indicate that icariin also stimulates osteoblast activity in bone tissue, leading to the development and marketing of medicinal products based on epimedium extracts for treatment of osteoporosis.
