Consistent quality, reliable supply, and a partner who understands your formulation needs. We are Fufeng Snotra Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. – 18 years in botanical extraction, from our own cultivation bases to our GMP-compliant manufacturing facilities. Our Natural Plant Extract portfolio includes Epimedium Extract (Epimedium brevicornum Maxim. / Epimedium Extract), also known as Icariin Extract, Horny Goat Weed Extract, 淫羊藿提取物, or淫羊藿单甙. Derived from the dried aerial parts of the epimedium plant — sourced from the Qinling and Bashan mountain regions of China[reference:6]— this extract delivers a rich profile of natural bioactive compounds including icariin (淫羊藿苷), epimedins (淫羊藿次苷), flavonoids, and polysaccharides. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, pharmaceutical formulations, veterinary products, and feed additives for its vitality-supporting, adaptogenic, and overall wellness properties. We offer ratios from 10:1 to 100:1, icariin content from 5% to 98%[reference:7][reference:8], custom granulation, and private-label packaging – exactly what your formulation requires.[reference:9]

Background: A North American nutraceutical brand was developing a natural men's health and vitality supplement line. They wanted a plant-based ingredient with scientifically-recognized icariin content to differentiate their products in the competitive wellness market.
Challenge: Their previous supplier could not provide consistent batch quality – icariin and flavonoid content varied significantly between lots, and the powder had poor solubility in their beverage applications.
Solution: We supplied Epimedium Extract standardized to 10:1 with Icariin 20% by HPLC, with full COA documentation including heavy metals (Pb/Cd/As <0.01%, Hg <0.002%), microbiology (total plate count <1000 CFU/g), and purity testing. We provided custom 100-mesh granulation for better dispersion in their mixing equipment and private-label packaging in 5 kg and 25 kg sizes.
Result: The brand successfully launched their vitality supplement across 15+ North American retail channels. Batch consistency has been maintained at ±2% variance across 20+ production lots. Their procurement lead time reduced by 25%, and they have since added a functional beverage SKU featuring our Epimedium Extract.
Epimedium Extract is the full extract derived from the aerial parts of Epimedium brevicornum, containing a complex mixture of bioactive compounds including icariin, epimedins, flavonoids, organic acids, and volatile oils[reference:74][reference:75]. Icariin (淫羊藿苷) is the primary bioactive flavonoid glycoside and the key quality marker used for standardization. We offer both standardized extracts (10:1, 20:1 ratios) and icariin-standardized extracts (5% to 98% by HPLC) for buyers who need a specific, quantified active ingredient[reference:76][reference:77].
Our facility holds ISO9001, ISO22000, HACCP, HALAL, and Kosher certifications – these are factory-level quality management systems. For each batch of Epimedium Extract, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering botanical identification, icariin/flavonoid assay (HPLC/UV/TLC), moisture (≤5.0%), ash (≤5.0%), particle size (95%-100% pass 80 mesh), heavy metals (Pb/Cd/As <0.01%, Hg <0.002%), and microbiology (total plate count <1000 CFU/g, yeast & mold ≤100 CFU/g, E. coli and Salmonella negative)[reference:78]. Our products are produced using advanced spray drying technology with no artificial additives, colors, or preservatives[reference:79]. We also provide factory inspection reports and third-party test reports upon request. If you need product-specific third-party certifications (organic) or additional tests, please contact us – we can arrange these based on your order volume and target market requirements.
Typical starting points based on industry practice:
• Dietary supplements (capsules/tablets): formulate to deliver target icariin content
• Solid beverages / drink mixes: 5%
• Liquid beverages: 5%
• Functional foods / snack foods: 3-5%
• Skincare / cosmetic formulations: 1%-5%
• Veterinary / feed additives: 0.5%-2% of feed formulation[reference:80]
We recommend working with your R&D team to determine optimal levels for your specific formulation and target market. We provide formulation guidance and technical support upon request.
