Epimedin A

Epimedin A, one of the main flavonoid active components in Herba Epimedii, is orally active. Epimedin A can inhibit osteoclastogenesis, differentiation, and bone resorption. Epimedin A also possesses anti-inflammatory activity. Epimedin A can be used in the research of osteoporosis and inflammatory diseases[1][2][3].
