Technical Q&A & Industry Insights
Understand the critical scientific distinctions that define high-quality Epimedium extracts.
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a highly specific chromatographic technique that separates and quantifies the exact molecular compound of Icariin (CAS 489-32-7) in a sample. HPLC ensures that only Icariin is measured, excluding other structurally similar flavonoids.
Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV), on the other hand, measures the light absorbance of all flavonoids present in the extract at a specific wavelength. Because UV cannot distinguish between Icariin and other flavonoids, it often yields a significantly inflated purity percentage (e.g., a product testing at 50% by UV might only contain 10% actual Icariin when tested by HPLC). At Chenlv Herb, we standardize our high-purity grades strictly using HPLC to guarantee true active content.
Due to its high purity, Icariin 98% crystalline powder is sensitive to moisture absorption (hygroscopy) and light degradation. It should be stored in its original airtight container, protected from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. We recommend storing it in a cool, dry place at temperatures below 25°C. Under these conditions, the product maintains a shelf life of 24 months.
Yes, all batches of Epimedium Extract manufactured by Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd. are certified non-GMO. The botanical raw materials are sourced from pristine cultivation bases, and no genetically modified organisms or allergens (such as gluten, soy, or dairy) are introduced during the extraction and purification processes.
