[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

What are steviol glycosides?
You have the stevia growing on the ground, it has a little green stevia leaves and in fact we don’t eat or even chew on that whole leaf. Many hundreds of years ago people on south America really did chew on a whole leaf and you certainly can. But if when we look at putting stevia into baked goods or into yogurt or into some kind of ice tea or beverages we want to get the peace of the leaf that’s really delivering the sweetness. And it turns out when you look at leaf there are lot of this different compounds called steviol glycosides – some sweeter than the others..some are earthiness than the others do in terms of the flavor profile it’s a plant, a natural plant that’s gonna have some variability. So we look at the leaf we figure out which steviol glycosides is really delivering the kind of sweetness for a certain product that we want to develop and we isolate that particular glycosides.
