How soluble is the 10% Epimedium extract and what are the best dissolution conditions?

The 10% Icariin dry extract is a spray-dried powder soluble in both water and ethanol, per our specification. It is a hydro-alcohol-soluble botanical extract.

Solubility Details

Because it is a whole dry extract (not isolated icariin), some insoluble plant fiber remains — typical for a 10% standardized powder. For capsules and tablets, pre-blend with a flowing filler (e.g., maltodextrin, MCC) for even content distribution and good compression. For liquid supplements (tinctures), ethanol or hydro-ethanol is ideal. Provide your matrix — we advise on dissolution and formulation.
