[What is Epimedium?]

Epimedium extract is a popular aphrodisiac supplement and herbal sexual performance enhancer.It has a long history of traditional use in China for the alleviation of erectile dysfunction and for improving libido and fertility.

Also known as Horny Goat Weed, this supplement supposedly got its name after a farmer noticed that his flock of goats were particularly aroused after eating flowers of a specific type. These Epimedium flowers contain icariin, which is a natural compound that increases blood flow to sexual organs and promotes sex drive. Icariin has been found to increase Nitric Oxide synthesis as well as inhibiting the activity of the PDE-5 enzyme

[Icariin in Epimedium Extract]

Epimedium extracts powder contain an active phytochemical called icariin.Icariin has been observed to exhibit a number of useful traits, including renoprotective (liver protecting) hepatoprotective (kidney protecting), cardioprotective (heart protecting) and neuroprotective (brain protecting) effects.

It is also an antioxidant and can cause vasodilation. It exhibits antimicrobial characteristics and is thought to act as an aphrodisiac.

Icariin is classified as a flavonol glycoside, which is a type of flavonoid. Specifically, icariin is the 8-prenyl derivation of kaempferol 3,7-O-diglucoside, a prevalent and important flavonoid.

Systemic inflammation is an underlying cause of many age-related problems.
The reason is that normal aging results in higher-than-desired levels of the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme, known as 5-LOX. And excess levels of 5-LOX set in motion inflammatory responses linked to common degenerative effects in older people. So the key to heading off inflammation is to neutralize that 5-LOX enzyme.

But there’s another consideration besides aging that fuels the dangers of 5-LOX. It’s the way we eat! The typical American diet consists of foods like eggs, red meat, poultry, cheeses and dairy products that trigger overproduction of a pro-inflammatory compound called arachidonic acid.

Now, scientific studies show that excess arachidonic acid activates the 5-LOX enzyme. And 5-LOX leads to the dangers of systemic inflammation. Clearly, avoiding foods with omega-6 fatty acids that trigger excess arachidonic acid would be ideal. But given the way we Americans love to eat … that’s a hard road to hoe. So it becomes even more important to neutralize 5-LOX production through supplements. One of the best for dealing with 5-LOX is a boswellia extract … which binds to and inhibits the 5-LOX enzyme.

Now, at Life Extension, we’re always on the lookout for innovative ways to enhance our products. So it’s not surprising that we’ve incorporated a next-generation 5-LOX inhibitor into several of them. It’s called AprèsFlex™. And it’s a boswellia extract that’s 52% better absorbed into the blood than previously available forms of Boswellia … so it’s far more effective. This ingredient is ideal for anyone looking to head off the damaging effects of inflammation.

But there’s another reason why AprèsFlex™ is so significant. In human clinical studies it’s been shown to promote healthy joint function and mobility. And it accomplishes this by also neutralizing pro-inflammatory compounds like leukotriene B4 … a molecule that attacks joints, arterial walls, and other tissues … and by protecting the collagen in our joints.

So, if you want to live healthier longer, you want to head off inflammation. And 5-LOX Inhibitor with AprèsFlex™ from Life Extension is guaranteed to head you in the right direction!
