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.
