Main Function
1.Epimedium polysaccharide can enhance the immune function of organism, can enhance and maintain normal adrenal cortex function and immune function
2.Epimedium affect aging mechanism from different aspects, can delay the aging process and prevent aging.
3.With epimedium extract, reduce cerebral vascular resistance, myocardial ischemia caused by pituitrin has certain protective effect, the treatment of coronary heart disease, angina has scientific basis.
4.Epimedium polysaccharide inhibiting platelet aggregation reaction, can inhibit thrombosis; And can promote the differentiation and proliferation of a variety of blood cells promote hematopoietic function.
5.Experiment proves that epimedium have promote bone cancer cell DNA synthesis effect, have "repair bone" effect, have good control effect on osteoporosis.
