[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.

Se pare ca este o specie foarte invaziva, nedorita de nimeni.
In realitate, in radacina ei se gaseste cea mai mare cantitate de resveratrol din intreaga lume vegetala. Resveratrolul este un antioxidant puternic, un antitumoral, o substanta care prelungeste viata prin stimularea producerii in organism a unei proteine a longevitatii. De mai multi ani incerc sa realizez o Video Enciclopedie a Florei din Romania. E o lucrare ampla si inevitabil supusa erorilor. E supusa si alunecusilor, deoarece, mergand in natura, intalnesc multe alte vietati, insecte, reptile, amfibieni, pasari, mamifere si, bucuros de intalnirea cu ele, incerc sa le prind intr-un film, intr-o descriere. Si, adio…plante. Fiind pasionat (si) de ciuperci am gasit atat de multe, identificat si catalogat, incat se pare ca prima va fi gata “Video Enciclopedia Ciupercilor” din Romania. Uneori gresesc, corectez sau sunt corectat (multumesc celor care m-au ajutat si ma ajuta uneori la identificari). Alteori sunt mai superficial sau doar grabit si clipurile nu sunt chiar ce ne-am dori de la ele. Imi asum tot ce filmez si nu am pretentii academice. Este un drum pe care am pornit fara niciun fel de sustinere materiala si nici nu-mi doresc; desi sunt biolog nu sunt angajat al vreunei institutii, nici al vreunei firme si fac acest lucru din pasiune. Aceasta realitate incetineste putin demersul meu, dar nu il face imposibil. Am venit cu aceste elemente introductive pentru a incerca sa domolesc din avantul lor pe cei care, in comentarii, ma injura, calomniaza, jignesc, folosesc un limbaj suburban, amenintator, etc. Sigur ca exista clipuri care nu plac, dar eu le privesc in ansamblul lor, privesc la imaginea finala. Si pentru ea merg mai departe.
Cand mergi in natura cautand plante, primele care iti atrag atentia sunt plantele inflorite. Florile ne momesc ca un magnet in universul lor de culoare, arhitectura, miros. Am mizat sa filmez plante inflorite pentru ca ele sunt calauza cea mai simpla spre identificarea corecta a lumii vegetale. Cand nu am gasit flori, am filmat alte elemente morfologice caracteristice unei specii sau alteia. Nu am reusit intotdeauna sa gasesc cele mai reprezentative exemplare. Nici nu mi-am dorit acest lucru. Unele specii rare sunt suficient sa le intalnesti macar o data in viata. Dupa ce ai parcurs zile intregi cautandu-le, te bucuri si daca intalnesti un exemplar mai amarat, sa spunem.
Filmele mele cu plante si despre ele se pot grupa astfel:
1.Clipuri scurte in care descopar o floare, o planta, un arbust, un arbore…si filmez intalnirea pentru o enciclopedie floristica, simpla, vizuala, in care vor fi asezate Ordine, Familii, Specii, intr-o derulare rapida fara pretentii de etalon de identificare.
2.Filme mai lungi in care fac descrierea plantei respective cu elemente de identificare, ocurente, perioada de vegetatie si, mai ales, utilitatea ei practica. Flora spontana este o sursa de medicamente vegetale de exceptie. Ceaiuri, tincturi, unguente, esente…nenumarate formule fitoterapeutice pot fi folosite in vindecare. Daca exista, insist asupra importantei alimentare a plantei respective, intr-o lume in care hrana noastra devine tot mai chimica si artificiala, cauzand toate maladiile “moderne”.
3. Simple clipuri in care descopar o frumusete aparte intr-o anumita specie vegetala, fie o lumina avantajoasa, fie o fructificatie deosebita, o floare, o umbra, o insecta in vizita, o asociere de plante, o malformatie, ceva nou care m-a atras sa o filmez.
