Use
Icariin can increase cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood flow, promote hematopoietic function, immune function and bone metabolism.
And has the effects of tonifying kidney and strengthening Yang, anti-aging and anti-tumor.
1. Effect on endocrine:
It can promote sexual function due to hypersecretion of semen, full of seminal vesicles. Stimulation of sensory nerves, and indirect excitement of sexual desire.
2. Impact on immune system function:
The number of T cells, turnover rate, antibody, antigen and phagocytosis function of reticuloendothelial system in patients with kidney deficiency are low.
They can be improved by the treatment of kidney tonifying drugs such as Epimedium.
3, anti-aging effect: Icariin can affect the aging mechanism from different aspects.
For example, it affects cell passage, prolongs growth period, regulates immune and secretory systems, improves body metabolism and organ functions.
4. Effects on cardiovascular system: Icariin on posterior pituitary leaf of Icariin Epimedium extract Icariin Epimediumbrevicornum and other dried stems .
And leaves of its epimediumBrevicornum are processed as raw materials.
Icariin or total flavones are usually used as standardized indicators in commercial extracts.
