Icariin For Sale – Product Details

Icariin is a concentrated extract of the Chinese native herb Epimedium, sometimes known as horny goat weed extract.

Icariin research seem to show promising signs of potential to suppress the activity of PDE5, a protein that prevents penile erections and results in erectile dysfunction.  Thus, data suggests that Horny Goat Weed capsules may potentially enhance libido and sexual performance.

Icariin extract was also found to possibly stop bone loss and enhance bone turnover markers in a clinical investigation. It has also been demonstrated to perhaps aid in reducing the rate at which joint cartilage degrades.

Some of the Latest Research on Icariin include:

• Potential Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction
• Potential Treatment of Premature Ejaculation and Pro Erectile effects
• Potential to Boost Testosterone
• Potential Treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease
• May Potentially Increase Bone Density
• Potentially Lessen Stress
• May Enhance Heart Health Benefits
• May Improve Cognitive Function

What is Icariin?

As mentioned above, the main bioactive substance in horny goat weed is icaridin. It is a flavonol glycoside that was taken from the plant’s aerial portion. Icariin has been demonstrated to have inhibitory effect in vitro against phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), the protein responsible for Erectile Dysfunction. [R][R]

Icariin is said to have anti-atherosclerotic qualities, just like the herb from which it was isolated. Icariin may also help prevent the development of amyloid plaques, which are proteins that when they stack up, cause Alzheimer’s disease (AD). [R][R]

How Does Icariin Work?

Icariin blocks the PDE5 enzyme activity that prevents the arteries in the penis from dilatation. This enables an erection to be produced by allowing blood flow to fill the three penis cylinders and the arteries. The prescription drug Viagra, sildenafil, functions similarly.

Icariin Research

Researchers reported that Icariin, the active component of horny goat weed (a plant extract), might show positive and promising health benefits in numerous suspected medical conditions.

Nootropics Unlimited does not sell Icariin as a dietary supplement.

Icariin and Erectile Dysfunction

A recent rodent study was conducted to find out how Icariin affected ED. For the study, 32 castrated male rats were used, and for 4 weeks, they received either oral Icariin or saline. Final results demonstrated that Icariin potential oral therapy enhances erectile function. [R]

A recent study investigated the effects of icariin, in combination with daily sildenafil, on a  rat model of bilateral cavernous nerve damage as a result of penile atrophy and erectile dysfunction. Interestingly, Icariin alone was found to be more effective in improving erectile function than when administered alongside Sildenafil.[R]

Icariin And Premature Ejaculation

In 10 males with a history of early ejaculation, a double-blind placebo-controlled experiment found that PDE5 inhibitors may have possibly delayed the commencement of ejaculation. Because Icariin is a known PDE5 inhibitor, even if it wasn’t used in the study, its findings may still potentially hold true in improving sexual health. [R]

Icariin and Testosterone Levels

Icariin (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg) significantly raised the levels of testosterone in a research study conducted on male rats. According to the study, having a higher libido or sexual desire is related to having higher testosterone levels. [R]

Nootropics Unlimited does not sell Icariin as a dietary supplement. It is not intended to treat or diagnosed and medical condition.

Icariin and Alzheimer’s Disease

In a mouse model, Icariin therapy (60 mg/kg for 3 months) increased neurogenesis, or the production of new neurons, and boosted spatial learning memory. Additionally, it decreased the amounts of amyloid-beta, a protein that builds up in this disorder and damages cells.[R]

Further research should be done on the potential applications of Icariin for AD treatment.

Icariin on Cognitive Function

A 2021 study found that Icariin improves brain function decline in aging rats by enhancing neuronal autophagy through the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway. [R]

Icariin And Bone Density

In a 24-month double-blind placebo-controlled trial including 100 postmenopausal women, Icariin may have enhanced hip and decreased spine bone densities. According to reports, icaridin may have kept a bone-formation creator (deoxypyridinoline) active while inhibiting a bone-breakdown maker (osteocalcin). [R]

Icariin and Stress

The effects of Icariin treatment on 10 individuals with bipolar disorders and alcohol addiction were examined in an open-label pilot trial. The trial’s findings suggest that Icariin (up to 300 mg daily) may potentially lessen both alcohol intake and depressive symptoms. [R]

Icariin and Heart Health

In rat models, Icariin exhibited the potential ability to halt the death of heart muscle cells following an acute heart attack. This was accomplished via a decrease in a pro-cell death factor and an increase in an anti-cell death factor (Bc1-2) (Bax). [R]
